Hello

That is a chinese belt buckle. In order to test if its jade. Do a specific gravity test. Nephrite jade will have a SP number of 2.90 to 3.00. Now the age is hard to tell. Most of these where make during the Ming and Ching dyansty. From the photos are not clear for me to look close to it to tell you more.
