Product Description

From the most mysterious and mystical place in the world, own a piece of history! The ultimate conversation piece for your home or office. This statue was sold as jade. We believe the face is jade, the body may be porcelain. The world is porcelain. Jade carvings of fantastic animals date back thousands of years and include representations of mythical creatures from Chinese as well as other cultures including Greek, Roman, and the Mid East. Many of these early carvings had sacred meanings and were included as ancient burial offerings. Chinese craftsmen have continued to use these motifs for hundreds, if not thousands of years. We purchased these statues as antiques but, with jade, which does not show age, there is no easy way to know how old they actually are. What we can say is that they are beautiful cultural relics, hand crafted from one of the world's most colorful mineral treasures. Maybe the one you purchase will turn out to be one of the Neolithic artifacts worth millions... Well, we can dream. Jade is cool to the touch and rings like iron when tapped. For 5,000 years jade has been shaped by abraiding with water and sand. It is the second strongest mineral next to diamond and was once considered more valuable than gold in the Orient. Mineralization from tomb moisture may be present and appear as a white crystalization on the surface.
