Chinese Hongshan Sculpture - Alien ?
This one I bought in Shanghai but not from a collector and it is different from the others, its carved from Jade but I sense its a fake in that it has no real age. but I bought it out of interest and its kind of cool looking.
The mysterious ancient Hongshan culture vanished thousands of years ago, but they left behind a number of absolutely astonishing jade figurines that we have the privilege to admire today.
Interestingly, some of the produced figures are very alien-looking. Whom do they depict? Did the Hongshan people encounter ancient aliens perhaps?
From China
Material Jade

It is important to be chic. I love the 2000s because everyone started to love haute couture. I always say: To be well dressed you must be well naked. I am never satisfied with myself and that is what keeps me going - I have no post-satisfaction. The difference between style and fashion is...

IBTC Xi'an culture and warriors
Partly cloudy
Good morning
Chinese do not say good morning. Nodding of head.
Thank you
Chinese do not applaud after a show, we have seen this non event after
each of the two shows to date. Our guide explained that saying thanks you
is a western learned behavior. If her mother gives her something she now
says thank you and her mother says, why do you say that? Several other
similar examples.
Crime
No guns. Crime is low but exists of course. Police constantly advise be
careful. Thefts under 5000 yuan rarely investigated.
Visit to the three excavations.
Qin dynasty. Unification, great Wall, money standardized, first
dynasty. Warriors for afterlife. In addition to the wikipedia article we
took about 1000 pictures which will be on Flickr. Editing in the future.
Referred to as the eighth wonder of the world. Had about three hours to
wander. Not rushed.
Tourist lunch but we got to see noodle making. Not the super fine type of
demonstrations - thickness suitable for eating.
University visit. Lecture on Chinese writing and calligraphy, past and
present. Xi'an international university.
The campus is functional but very uninspiring. Buildings are not decorated,
white walls, some paint peeling. Classrooms appear very formal.
Understandable as this particular university was originally built for
Russian study probably with Russian money.
Excellent lecture on the structure of constructing words, phrases, new
words, how the tourist translation business is managed and attempts to
train and standardization signage
One error when using Google for translation : system fault.
Dinner : one unusual dish was the black sticky rice, with dates, sugar,
soy bean paste, cashews. Slightly sweet.

A panorama I created this evening... I walked as fast as I could to my destination on a very sunny evening, but by the time I got there, the clouds had rolled in. I just changed tack and went for a more moody twilight shot instead.
