Very good Xi, my wife and I have started collecting Chinese artifacts, I have just bought a six panel Chinese screen to go into my new house when I get it, I have an old Buddha about 14 inches high, and a nice ceramic one to go with it, many of my collection is of Chinese material.
I have bought many precious stone angels from China, They carve them so well.
