Hi Oliver,
Your plaque is in my opinion neither jade nor is it from the ming period.
It resembles serpentine and has been treated to appear old.
Typically tourist type ware. If you are looking to buy this I would look elsewhere.

Every time I see color or dirt on Jade, I worry. Why was it not cleaned, or is it to show "age"
Far sharper photos would be very helpful
