    I Just picked this up cheap..

    Anyone ever seen one?
    I cant find anything like it. I have seen a few similar chinese war horses but this is different.

    I think its jade but not sure. Its harder than soapstone. The helmet comes off. Looks like a symbol underneath but could just be scratches to help the glue hold.

    Any info would be helpful. Thanks

    I have no clue. I think its not soapstone. Its too hard and does not scratch easy.
    Here is a pic with flash that shows the colors better. It is very heavy! 20220413_101950.jpg
