This piece is light green, very heavy and it looks as if it was hand carved.
The round ball at the top rotates. It is held in place with a hand carved jade type peg at the top and a metal type peg on the bottom. There are carved dragons and what looks like a womans blank face with blazing hair or a blazing sun
The base has a 2 1/2" opening for the top to fit into. The opening is about 1 1/2" deep. The inside is not polished. It has a finely carved dragon head on bothe sides, two round rings and 3 feet with a bushy eyebrowed animal on each one
The condition is good, but there are a few chips on the bottom base.
If you tap the two pieces together it sounds almost like 2 drumsticks hitting each other.
It looks like there is a rough pontil on the bottom of the top piece in a rectangular shape and one on the base that looks like it was polished
