What does this mean?

Dear Angela,

You have a decorative art object made of most likely engraved strips of serpentine framed in China as art of the total object. So I believe the strips of serpentine were not used in a different , older manner. These attractive artworks are sold throughout China in different forms and shapes and ment for export to western countries. The characters are archaic old script but are not from that time frame. Date wise second half 20th century.
