Dear Dr.Mircea Veleanu
Xin Nian Kaui Le!!!!
It's a jade chime.
"A chime of bells and a set of musical stones (chime) were unearthed from the tomb of the Marquis of Zeng at Leigudun, Suizhou, Hubei Province in 1978." Dated as warring states/Eastern Zhou period.
If this piece is authentic, looking at the craftsmanship which is not flat cut with sharp angles, it would be of the later period, possibly of the Tang to the Ming Dynasty.
