Hand made silver, the middle gold looking stuff I don't think it's gold, has small pits in it, what kind of gold colored metal does that. In the center part there is carvings or writing, a fork looking thing. Thanks Justintime...8-)

Can't help you on the ID but it's a nice find!

Nice find Justintime. I love it - learn something everyday here. FWIW (I can't be the only one that had to look it up!) - An amulet (Latin amuletum) can be any object but its most important characteristic is its alleged power to protect its owner from danger or harm...More...
 

The writing does not look Tibetan... See, Tibetan text has lots of flares and marks around the text like so--> Tibeten text.jpg See the picture ?
That's Tibetan text... I think your piece is maybe Chinese or some type of Asian Piece. I lived in India and stayed with the Tibetans for 6 months. :hello2:
It kinda looks Tibetan, :icon_scratch: I still could be wrong somehow, I often am... :BangHead:
Keep @ it and HH !!

Nice looking lice. I'd bet the middle is brass.

Both Chinese,Tibetan and many other cultures believe in Enlightenment. I did find one on Ebay with a similar edge but different center design that's claiming to be Tibetan. So again I could be wrong, idk.

Keep @ it and HH !!

The fork carving is in the middle, looks like a Neptune spear, and were the light from flash on center piece, there is a crescent moon. Thanks Justintime
