<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 575554, member: 2844&quot;]It is a netsuke. Netsuke are Japanese, but they are also made in China for the Japanese market.</p><p>Sadly it looks like blackened resin. There are small &#039;dents&#039; in the material where the air bubbles have popped, and the black layer is worn off in places, showing the plasticky material underneath. It is very cute, but not real imo.</p><p><br /></p><p>The semi circular Liangzhu style piece is another repro. You can see the lines in the drill hole I warned about in the examples from my own repro collection.</p><p>Scott, I am so glad you didn&#039;t pay much for this collection. The gentleman who sold it to you clearly didn&#039;t know anything about archaic jades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
