This item shoud be in a museum,or your collection.It is from a recent excavation in Herat,Afghanistan.No machines were used on this carving,as you can see.I believe to be 2000-3000 years old,or more.Possibly one of the first jade carvings in existance.It is carved with ancient beast and snake on the reverse side.The age I determined is from other relics I have such as bronze hairpins from the same excavation site dating to ancient Roman Empire artifacts.I do have the Museum Clearance Documents for this piece also.It is definetly A-One-Of-A-Kind piece!You will never see another,unless reproduction/copy!
