Subject:Lion Statue, is this jade and old?
Posted By: Harry Mon, Mar 02, 2020 IP: 36.72.213.247

Dear member..
Please help to identify and dating my lion statue. What kind of stone, jade? and how about dating, during which dynasty this statue was made?
Thank you for helping me.
Best regards,
Harry

In your last picture, the scroll looks like it was made with a modern, electric powered, hand tool (e.g. Dremel).

Cheers
Stan

Thank you Stan for seeing and arguing.
Is that jade stone?

Other opinions are welcome.

Going by your pictures, this item looks like Soapstone, most likely Obama dynasty

Thank you Ernest
Whatever your opinion, I really appreciate it. I'm sure that's objective. So if i sell it later, then the price is appropriate.

Sincerely,
Harry
