One figure stands while one lounges, maybe smoking a hookah. Both are upon a mythological beast, possibly a Qilin

Carved from a single piece of lapis lazuli, in a deep blue featuring deep white calcite veins.

Mounted (removable) on intricately carved custom wood stand showing carved flowers and leave.

Carving, not including stand, measures 4" x 2" x 3 1/2" tall.

Stand measures 5 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 1 1/4" tall

I am not seeing any major cracks, could have possible chip at the very tip of the hookah at top, it feels slightly rough, but I honestly can not tell for sure.
