<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 121062, member: 602"]Hi....onward with more stuff!! Didn't see a particular thread where this would fit, so since am pretty sure he's old figured here would do!!! This little guy is one of my Favorite things!!! I think he might have been on an opium belt?? He's somewhat translucent, pretty sure a white jade with a slight greenish tinge, is 2-1/2" tall and weighs 1.9 oz. Wherever I go he travels with me....kind of a talisman!! There's a tiny bit of brownish stuff stuck to the bottom of his feet/foot, NOT A MARKING ON HIM that I can find....can't figure out what he's carrying, kind of a happy face......and he's smooth as silk!!! Most grateful for any and all input as chinese items I know zero about!!!! TIA!! Oh, pictures were taken at different times of day, I think accounting </p><p>for different colors......there is a hole that goes right through which can be seen in the back of him in the first picture and the fourth picture....Mom had a small Netsuke collection at one time.....this fellow was not part of it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]30688[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]30689[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]30690[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]30691[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]30692[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
