    Hi all,

    I am new here.

    I need help identifying this heavy Asian sculpture (weighs almost 3/5 kg).

    Pictures have been taken from all sides. What does it say?

    Thanks for reply.

    There is no stamp or signature under the sculpture. I'm curious about the characters shown in the pictures. Does the sculpture have any value, my thought thinks. :)

    It looks like a stamp blank to me. A decorative sculpture which would have become an ink stamper had the underside been carved.

    'I believe' I recognise some of the characters, they are written in ancient Chinese Seal Script.

    Unfortunately, without fully translating all characters I cannot really say what the writing really says as a single character can dramatically adjust the translation.

    I'll give you the modern day equivalents for those which look familiar to me. When you finally have all the characters you then need to read them all in the right order in order to have an accurate translation.
