Where there is a large statue of Buddha carved into the rocks along the bank of a river?

I have this image of a large Buddhist statue, so least 200 feet high, carved into solid rock. The rock is reddish brown in color. On both sides there is a smaller statue embedded in the rock. Most are small, perhaps 50 feet high. In the foreground is a fast river.

If the statue is in a sitting position, then you're looking for Giant Buddha in Leshan in China. The statue of remarkable, on the eastern shore Minjiang River in the city of Leshan in Sichuan Province, was carved into a hillside in the 8th century and looking down at the confluence of three rivers Minjiang, Dadu and Qingyi and his back is the western slope of Lingyun Mountain. Siiting is the largest Buddha in the world. Above 232 feet, shoulder width of 79 feet wide, is an impressive sight. A water drainage system reduces erosion by rain and reduces the weather. The statue was begun in 713 Adande completed in 803 AD, the year 19 of the reign of Emperor Tang Dezhong. To the right of the statue of a table twisty road was built and is now famous as the nine to his Once Plank Road, but it goes from bottom to top. Included in the list of UNESCO world heritage in 1996.

Can you tell us when you see real Ivory?

I have some Netsuke Figurines, which I think are made of ivory, but recently some people I have said that they think they are plastic. Do you know how to tell the difference? Reply to my email and I can add a picture of them and maybe that can help. I was interested in selling my figures, but do not know what they are worth. Can you help me with this?

Hello. According to this article: http://ezinearticles.com/?How-Do-You-Tell-Fake-Ivory-From-Real&id=1025288, that can be hard to tell the difference looking. However, the article describes what seems like a simple needle "hot" test that can be done to determine if it is plastic (or resin) or real ivory. If they do the test and the real ivory, I'm afraid I have no idea what they are worth. Maybe you can find similar ones for sale Online? I've also heard of this site where you pay a small fee and, presumably, an expert tells what your item is worth: http://www.wiw2u.com/. But I do not know how reputable they are. Good luck to you.

Why is Jade and it is real lucky on eBay?

I just wanted to know if it is true that when you wear the stone of Jade, is luck? and also why the rings are so cheap on eBay and so expensive in the mall? Jade is it really or are they just lying? Thank you.

And he believes lucky in many cultures. In pre-Columbian America was more valuable the stone. I do not jade eBay. The quality of the jade ranges over virtually useless for carat rubies, sapphires or emeralds. You may not know what quality you are getting on eBay. I would go to a Chinese or Vietnamese section of town and shop there. There is some excellent economic jade out of Communist China at the moment. Jade can be dyed or irradiated to enhance color. Some people sell very poor quality jade and some people are selling fake jade. The best value is going to be a store that Communist China Chinese imports. Their lower middle and lower classes are selling everything can have in their power to help bring much needed commodity Mösern
