Dear Mr. Bernstein:

Thank you for your excellent advice.

I love the nephrite jade carvings made by Mr. Don Wobber including those that were made of BIG SUR nephrite jade:

I believe all of his pieces, no matter what material they were made of, are truly masterpieces and my favorite one is the one made with both bronze and nephrite:

Sisyphus
Cast Bronze & Nephrite Jade
Single Edition, Height 12 inches

It is such a powerful portray of Sisyphus and I cannot help but keeping looking at it.

I would like to ask for your persmission to post it here for everybody to admire.

My most favorite one among the contemporary jade carvings that are currenly offered in your site would be the "Recumbent Buffalo" made by Mr. Shen Quan and it was made of Black Khotan Jade:

The black Kohtan (Hetian) jade material by itself is extremely rare and in such a size (the buffalo carving is 13 inches) is almost unheard of. While most Chinese jade literatures grade mutton-fat, white and celadon Hetian jade above black, in reality quality and large black Hetian jade are really rare and only genuine yellow Hetian jade is rarer.

Mr. Shen Quan captures the beauty and serenity of the buffalo with such simplicity and seemingly so effortless. To me that is truly a masterpiece and I am surprised it is still avialble.

With your persmission, I would love to post its pictures here for everybody to enjoy its beauty.

Thank you very much.

Bill
