NOTE: This is a very rare piece, known as a 'tally', designed to overcome the threat of espionage and betrayal. A messenger carried on half, and only when the recipient's carving tallied, was the message accepted as genuine.
S. Owen, 'An Anthology of Chinese Literature', New York, 1996, p. 148 relays a story about the betrayal of King Zao of Wei (278 - 243 BC). He had a tally to authorise Jin Bi, his General, to use his troops; but his son, Prince of Wei, persuaded Lady Ru, who enjoyed the kings favours to steal his tally from the King's bed chamber.
