Figure with gold tracks?

[witgar]

hi!

I found this one recently, it's about 4.5 cm long and hollow.
It seems to me that it's something kind of "zinc", not really zinc but it feels/looks like that when you look at it. It has this tiny gold tracks and it is resined (= brownish look?) i think.
Can please somebody tell me what it is or from which period it dates?

thanks alot!

Welcome to Treasure Net!

Do you think the face looks like it was broken off something at the neck area?

If so... maybe the handle end of a serving spoon or the like?

shot in the dark but it kinda looks like Snow White to me. Maybe a very old version.

It looks like a childs head due to the bow in the hair...could be off a letter opener

Welcome to Tnet from the UK.

I lived in Mons for 4 years. I guess you never found it in Belgium

Its not Roman or Medieval but Classical revival so probably mid- Victorian - 1850s. Decoratrative Mount for ?

hi!

actually i did found it in belgium
thanks for the ideas but i don't know about the gold tracks...
it doesn't seem to me that something is broken off the figure, it's flat and not damaged on the downside so i don't think it could be a spoon or a letter opener.

Thanks alot already

Could it be some type of game piece

I think this is a religious piece. It has all the markings.

I have not seen any religious figures with 'bows" in their hair

I have, however, recently been seeing an angel with a green bandana. 8)

I still think it's the end of a utensil... I dunno...
