Notes
This is similar to the corroded elephant in Jade texture and style.Probably is from the same tomb.Note the raised cloud pattern on the body to give it a dating to the Han Dynasty or even earlier. The structure is more squarish ,reminiscent of statures of the Greece (Athens) period,especially the upturned  pair of wings. A very interesting extant Jade for research!
