GUEST: I bought it at a flea market...
APPRAISER: Okay.
GUEST: ...from a dealer who sells American Indian artifacts.
APPRAISER: Okay.
GUEST: And I bought it as a group, with American Indian. And this came with the purchase. I believe the lot was $1,200 to $1,500.
APPRAISER: This is Asian. It's Chinese. Uh, what we have in the center is jade. It's carved from jade. Uh and it's set in a silver, uh, bangle mount. The silver bangle dates to the 20th or 21st century. The jade panel dates to the Yuan period, which is 1271 to 1368.
GUEST: Wow.
APPRAISER: So, quite old. What we have depicted here in the center with the jade is a goose in a lotus pond, and you can see the lotus flowers at the top here.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: Generally, plaques of this type would have been sewn into a piece of fabric, and you would have worn them, uh, perhaps around your waist. At auction, I would estimate something like this at $4,000 to $6,000.
GUEST: Mm-hmm. Good, I was... Yeah, I, I didn't know. I was hoping between five and ten, you know?
APPRAISER: The estimate that I gave you is for the plaque itself, not how it's been set in, in the bracelet.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
