[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 63745, member: 59"]First, I am under no illusion that this is an antique, but it doesn't fit anywhere else. And on top of that it was free. :D Cold to the touch, darkish to lighter shades of green, almost translucent where the material is thin. The flash in a few pictures makes it look lighter than it is. Nicely carved details, 3 1/4 inches long, about 2 inches tall where his snout is up in the air. I have a small piece made of BC jade that I got in Alaska and the color on this darker than that. Any ideas? This first pic is with flash (you can see the carved details better than in the non-flash pics.) [ATTACH=full]16411[/ATTACH] This is without flash [ATTACH=full]16412[/ATTACH] The detail of the tail shows a small inclusion. [ATTACH=full]16413[/ATTACH] Finally, to show how that color seems to vary. Note the lighter green "whisker?" [ATTACH=full]16414[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
