Subject:Jade Rope

Again from Petit Musee...

Here is something I haven't seen before. Any thoughts anyone?

Sorry I had to shoot through the display glass.

If you want detail, I'll blow up the picture.

Cheers,
Stan

Exquisite workmanship. As to the age, one has to look closer and handle them.

Like Ernest, I liked the workmanship on those rings. I had no opinion on age.

If you liked those here is another set.

Cheers,
Stan

Stan,

Thank you for the posting. The first one looks like it would have been done by hand tools. Whether by mechanical or old world, since there are irregularities (not mistakes) in the carving.
The second is more difficult to tell. But like you and Ernest, I appreciate good craftsmaship and without closer inspection, it's difficult to tell much more than that.

Jim
