This listing is for the old carved hard stone statue that you see in the photos. The old antique dealers that I purchased it from said that they purchased it at an estate sale and that they did not know how old it was. They also said that they tested it and that it was jade. They told me what kind of jade it was but it has been a few years since I purchased it and I have forgotten what they told me about the type of jade. It looks like russet nephrite jade to me. I wonder if it is Hetian jade. I am guessing that it is Chinese. I do not know how old it is. I am guessing that it is at least vintage. I leave it to the buyer to decide what kind of jade it is where it was made and how old it is. It is definitely a hard stone.

It weighs close to 885 grams or 1.96 pounds. The longest measurements of the base measure close to 5 7/8 by 2 ¼ inches. At its tallest, it measures close to 5 ½ inches tall.

Some of my photos were taken with a bright light shining through the statue to show its translucency in some areas.

The condition is much like you see it in the photos. It is in excellent condition with no damage.

• I guarantee this statue  to be as described and represented by the photos and video. The photos are part of the description. Please look at all of them.

• I allow three business days for shipping but I usually ship the same or next day if possible.

     Please know that the lighting in my photos is uneven and that there might be shadows or reflections. The colors on my monitor look close to but not exactly like the actual colors. Different monitors may show different colors. I often say that an item measures or weighs “close to” because in my opinion no measurements are exact and some things are difficult to measure.

     I like to leave feedback after I know that the item has arrived and that the buyer is satisfied.

  I reserve the right to cancel any bids without explanation.<p>

  I frequently purchase signature delivery for my more valuable packages because of the possibility of them being stolen off of a porch or damaged by weather. I often but not always ship the same or the next day. Often, I have a double wall box custom made for larger items and that might result in a short delay. When I use packing peanuts, they are usually biodegradable. Sometimes, I use used boxes.

  Please email me with any questions or suggestions. I do not ship on weekends. I might not be available to answer email on weekends.
