Post by: dianareena on July 26, 2009, 02:03:52 pm: i did some research on it and think it might be from the qing dynasty but i might be wrong. the characters are all carved stone and inlaid in the wood panel. i think it might be jade or jadeite or even soap stone but i'm not sure. and i'm new to antiques.. all help welcomed... :)

I'm curious if the adhesive (under where the missing piece was) has got 'grit' (sand) in it , or not .

Post by: dianareena on July 27, 2009, 12:15:08 am: it was given to my husband by his brother who found it at the dump where he works. It measures about 55cm*15cm and there is no residue in the carved part where a piece is missing. It has a marking at the back which has been scratched on before it was painted but can't see it very well. It's a friend of mine who suggested it might be an antique.
