Now I see that Bookahtoo is online right now, Oops, now she's not.

 

There's only a few members who could tell anyway mrs bakers

I'm sure it'll be fine

 

Strike that, what I meant to say is that we are abundant with hundreds of very knowledgeable earnest people

 

ya...but it's still a forum for saying hello......and doesn't get much play//!!

 

Thanks everyone

here is a picture of the base


So My first instinct was that it would be Chinese because it’s A jade effigie but then After really looking at them I don’t know if he has a Chinese face so I’m trying to think where else do they do jade carvings could he be South American or Mayan ???

also he doesn’t seem to be happy - I mean it’s not a smile on his face…..

 

I sent you a link komo, but of a different variety, hubba hubba

 

So my first thoughts were Chinese effigi because the jade but after looking at him and his face I’m wondering if he could be Mayan or from somewhere else

 

I likes it, hope I'm not wrong in my interest

I seriously haven't got a clue, but others will tomorrow

They are all tucked up at the mo

 

What did you pay for it Anthony ?

 

Picture break down

 

I changed the title since I’m not sure if he is Chinese

… should I burn an insent or some kind of offering too him? he really doesn’t look too happy…

 

It's what I look like when I wake up !

Oooo the struggle ahead

Character in that face though, it ain't empty

 

If it's a bullshit piece, I'm gonna walk round tomorrow with my head hanging low in shame !!

 

Where (country/state) was this estate? Not that the figure couldn't be from thousands of miles away, but sometimes place of acquisition is a clue.

It really helps all of us if you attach photos as full size:

I know the Estate was of a man That graduated high school in 1951 and was a veteran - which places him in the far east for the Korean war or maybe Vietnam….

there were two other items sitting next to it, totally unrelated but may serve as a clue…. an Indian grinder Stone,
And another figure That felt more modern and possibly made out of soapstone? But that’s just my opinion-


The jade effigy definitely has a certain energy and age to it - it’s worn like it’s spent a long long time in someone’s hand

 

Also I am having trouble attaching photos - they seem to be to large of a file so I’ve been emailing them to myself re-saving them and then posting them lol

 

My neighbor said he looked like an Eskimo or an Alaskan lol (Inuit)

I kinda disregard him in favor of the jade maybe I should give it another look
