"ANCIENT" HARDSTONE ANCESTOR on STAND

The tan speckled hardstone possibly bowenite, looking very much like nephrite jade, carved in the late Eastern Zhou or Han dynasty manner (but of course not that old) as a bearded and robed "Ancestor" figure, vertical hole through for display or use as a pendant. Now on a good contemporary stand. Another view here. Fine and affordable example of late Zhou style.
