Antique Chinese Hand Carved Jade Wax Seal?

Does anyone know what this is and if it's old and what it says?  I purchased it an a yard sale several years ago along with gold coral bracelet.  DSCN2333 (2).JPGDSCN2334 (2).JPGDSCN2335 (2).JPGThank you!

Re: Antique Chinese Hand Carved Jade Wax Seal?

Sorry, but your piece doesn't appear to be jade.  It looks much more like soapstone.  The scratches on the one side is very much an indication of soapstone.  Jade is hard, doesn't scratch or chip like that and a piece that large would have been carved much more carefully, artistically and precisely.  And it wouldn't have been aged to make it look archaic.  It is made to 'look' old.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Respect, like money, is only of 'worth' when it is earned - with all due respect, it can not be ordained, legislated or coerced. Anonymous
