These ancient carvings of pachyderms are packing much jade. Measure these in pounds not carats. Similar in size and heft to two bricks these are not the usual jade trinkets but instead are museum quality artifacts that'll look real good displayed in your collection. Just like sometimes happens with real elephants the tips of the tusks are broken off but don't worry, touches of time have smoothed the edges and if not pointed out, one might not notice. The original points must have been subtlely rendered because the tusks still look good. Request detailed photos and see for yourself! 6" long, 51/2" tall and 2 1/2 wide these are some serious pieces of jade. Just try and buy two massive uncarved pieces of jade this size and see what the cost would be. An artist with a faulty brain might break these guys into a thousand pieces and use them to make lots of jewelery. Insurance is required for shipping. T is zero handling fee. Enjoy!
