<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 3845718, member: 8363&quot;]The reseller believed that this was good quality jade - it is quite translucent for being thick and is mottled with black.&nbsp; Perhaps, someone might comment on this aspect of it, if they wouldn&#039;t mind.&nbsp; It&#039;s not like I paid a lot for this small container that is 5 inches long, 2 inches tall and 1 inch wide, but where it will be displayed is really dependent on the quality of the jade.&nbsp; It is covered in carved creatures - a dragon, a bird on a fir branch, a frog, and some other things I can&#039;t figure out.&nbsp; It also has characters under the lid, and on the bottom front and back.&nbsp; There is so much going on I will put some more details in a second post, though it is really difficult to show some details, as it is high polished and I couldn&#039;t figure out how to do it.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />The photo of the whole top has been highly manipulated (the colors are wrong), but that didn&#039;t work either.</p><p>I think it is fairly modern, the carving is very basic. I also think it is supposed to represent something and that is what I am asking about. I supposed you could put a cricket in it, but it would die quickly from lack of oxygen <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; Not big enough for anything else.&nbsp; Any ideas would be appreciated.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]318815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]318816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]318817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]318818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]318819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]318820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]318821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]318822[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]318823[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]318825[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
