Chinese Jade Toggle

A flat notched slab with a raised pyramid pattern, like a tiny stepped plateau.

This toggle is from China. It is jade. Jade was generally the most preferred and valued material for toggles, a precious stone integral to Chinese culture since the Neolithic Period and often called the stone of heaven. The rectangular plate has two deep notches cut in from opposite sides and a faint raised diamond with crossing lines on its face. The surface is a pale yellowish cream, finely pitted, with edges worn smooth. It is 1 inches long, 0.25 deep and 1 high.

Geometric to its core and in no mood to explain.
