Subject:Jade Mythical Beast
Posted By: Arche Sat, Jun 28, 2008 IP: 203.59.139.132
Hi,

I recently bought this jade sculpture in Laos. It is about 12cm high and seems to be of some mythical animal. The face motif is repeated at the rear of the sculpture.

Any ideas on its origin would be appreciated. The seller said it was about 400 years old but had no other details.

Regards
Arche

I doubt that this is a Jade..most likely it is Serpentine. 400 hours old.. perhaps...this Century !
