Featured maybe a lil bronze.......................................................c/s2

Hi folks this was one of 4 pieces i bought from the same shop

i initially thought interesting but dubious,

think it might actually be a bronze now (i'll keep that thought floating though)

can't seem to find an exact multiple (if one of those )

any thoughts or info appreciated

will add the others in a wee bit here

 

and is image search getting worse as well......for me its gone from ok to things that look nothing like (just black things today

It worked for me (this time), but often image search is indeed terrible. And the option to add a keyword isn't helpful at all in most cases.

 

thought this was cool as well ( as its seems personal) c/s2

same shop same price

"so why did you buy it then charlie ?

Shoushan stone ?

 

tea break.......

 

I tried Bing now with the wooden figurine. First I got a lot of similar figurines. Then I added 'Beryl' as keyword and got .... crystal, jade and soapstone figurines

"traditional Chinese and Japanese art frequently represents Liu with a string of square-holed cash coins and a mythical three-legged chanchu (蟾蜍; "toad; toad in the Moon"). In the present day, it is called the Jin Chan (金蟾; 'Money Toad'), and Liu Haichan is considered an embodiment of Caishen, the God of Wealth."

 

lunch break.......

 

i was well impressed with toads as a kid..so much so my mum thought i'd end up with a toady looking Wife

the printed mark under John looks german
