It looks like a rescent, animal&#39;s tooth or fetus. There is a hole and some carved line on the head part.<br />
<br />
This is a comma-shaped bead made from dark green jade. Such crescent moon-shaped beads, referred to as<em> gogok</em>, were used to decorate golden crowns, clothing, and belts. This example, which was attached to other ornaments via the hole in its head, is typical of comma-shaped beads of the Three Kingdoms period. Three parallel lines are incised across the hole, from which four more incised lines radiate upwards.<br />

She then carefully sanded down the paint to highlight the new texture and make &ldquo;visible the life within the linen material.&rdquo; (artist&rsquo;s statement (2009), http://www.eddarenouf.com/Statement.html)
