Message Look typical of postures 1960s-1970s, China. Could be made there. Could be made then or later (same spirit still exists in some quarters). Can not tell from pictures alone what made of, you need scratch test and specific gravity measurement to tell if nephrite, serpentine, other stone or even glass. Price would depend on material, size and whether buyer was collector of material in spirit of Mao Zedong or Cultural Revolution. Few would find the pieces' artistic qualities of interest. Good luck, Cal Post a Response |
