    Can't tell for sure if the construction is wooden or papier mache. It is kind of light weighted so I would think it is the second. About 5.6 ounces and 3 1/2" x 5" x 2 1/4".
    The jade is scratch free.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Looks like a nice piece of jade-worth over $100 by itself at least. Anyway-the back of it may not be finished but even so might make a halfway decent piece of jewelry worn on a necklace, Box has some age to it. Box may be worth restoring. Glad u put in dimensions.
