Value Of Rare Ming Dynasty Jade Lion Leaves Owner Speechless | Antiques Roadshow UK

All valuations were correct at the time of broadcast. Expert Lars Tharp examines a small jade carving of a Buddhistic lion bought for just £40 around 20 years earlier. Looking closely at the finely carved curls along its spine, Lars suggests the piece may date to the late Ming dynasty of the 16th or 17th century. But could this modest purchase turn out to be worth far more than its owner ever imagined?
