My brother found it and it was in really nasty shape, so I took it home and cleaned it up a bit and was surprised to find how detailed it really was. I don't think its ancient, it could be modern but it also could be mid 1800's to early 1900's. It is mexican as it states around the cross states united mexico, the cross is a caravaca cross, which the symbol dates back to the moores, and these style crosses were carried over to mexico when the padres came. Note the angles and the skull at the bottom. The design of the angels tell me that it was made no earlier than the victorian age.
Now the opposite side has me stumped, I really thought it was an anchor when it was all cruddy looking, I still think it might be, but it is so detailed and I have never seen markings like it. I was thinking it might have something to do with Mexican Aztec but not sure. Have any of you seen anything like it before?
