<p>[QUOTE="Savvy*Spyglass*Treasures, post: 98245, member: 205"]Hi! I know it's very hard IDing the type of stone without handling it but if I can get a list of what type of stone this could be by how it looks, that will help to narrow the search down for me. It's an Asian carving, I'm guessing Chinese. True? The two figures in the center are struggling with a fish, one figure on the far right is blowing a horn, the figure next to him has what looks like a stick in one hand and something round in the other, and the last figure on the far left is kneeling and has his left hand down and the other hand up at his right ear. Is this from a Chinese story? Is there a purpose for the shape of the carving? Overall, it measures 6" x 5 1/2" x 3" tall. The opening is about 2" diameter with the interior carved bigger inside. Here are the pictures......</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img5.sellersourcebook.com/users/106965/stonecarving.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://img5.sellersourcebook.com/users/106965/stonecarving1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://img5.sellersourcebook.com/users/106965/stonecarving9b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://img5.sellersourcebook.com/users/106965/stonecarving8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you so much for any help with this!</p><p><br /></p><p>Juli[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
