Re: Re: Re: Re: AGE? of this 'jade' figure |

Message These are very finely carved from good material,but in my opinion i feel quite modern,as the subject matter seems atypical. They seem to be honouring figures of science/inventors/culture heroes or some such icons-the first picture shows a man holding an astrolabe perhaps(or a small seismograph)and the multiple dragonned object by his feet would also be a seismograph. The last figure might be the architect behind the Grand Canal? Waves seem to be lapping at his feet. Not sure about the other two. I might be completely off base! Post a Response |
