[QUOTE="tempusfugit, post: 3301993, member: 17778"]Thank you for all your thoughts. When you say not old would anyone be able to give a rough estimate of age please ? I ran it under hot water to see if it smelled of camphor but it doesn’t seem to give off any smell. I’ve attached some close ups. She seems to have a crack running up her back and one across her wrist. I bought it from the US many years ago from an antique dealer near Jacksonville. The story with it ( because I always ask if there is any history) was that there was a small town called Chinese town there during the gold rush and it may well have come from there, but that may just be fantasy story, who knows ! Thanks again Kind regards TF [ATTACH=full]298689[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]298691[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]298692[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]298694[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]298695[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
