[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4534901, member: 110226"]This is a small black variegated nephrite fu lion that I purchased from a Canadian dealer earlier this year. The period could be late Ming or early Qing Dynasty, or it could be 19'th century or earlier. The Chinese have a longstanding tradition of reproducing objects from earlier periods. This is one way that they honor their ancestors. This piece appears to have been carved from a water worn stone. The external rind can be seen at the top of this carving, as well as the numerous cracks throughout the stone. The figure measures 2 1/4 inches long by 1 1/4 inches wide and 1 3/8 inches tall. The figure weighs 82 gram [IMG]https://www.deadzoom.com/joanstreasures/mard2ad%20042.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.deadzoom.com/joanstreasures/mard2ad%20043.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.deadzoom.com/joanstreasures/mard2ad%20044.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.deadzoom.com/joanstreasures/mard2ad%20046.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.deadzoom.com/joanstreasures/mard2ad%20049.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
