Hi Pipane,
Thank you for your comment! This bi I am leaning towards to Spring And Autumn Period due to the motifs carved into curve lines and the dragon's tongues were S shape. Later on in Han dynasty, dragons were made in S shape.

pipane:

Are you sure this is Hetian nephrite jade?

Yes pretty sure, hardness/scratch test would tell.

And certainly not "vintage".

Sorry Ernest.
