    Hi everyone,
    I purchased this item at an estate sale and trying to figure if it's antique or modern. Please help.

    Approximately 20-25 lb. 12 inches tall and 20 inches long.

    Hello, TimQ. We prefer images full size:

    Others will weigh in, but looks artificially aged to me & China just churns out replicas of its antiquities.

    Opinion: I see no wear or chipped areas; The tail and horns seem to be complete; Age is usually accompanied with wear, chips and broken sections, ie. horns and tail.
    Conclusion: Fairly new offering from China.
