Jewelry?

I found this at an old military school that dates back to the 1850's. It was around 7 inches deep and hit in the nickel zone. Any ideas. The back looks the same but with no design. Thanks.

Hey Bill,

Nice find, sir. Could you show it with light behind it, please? I'm thinking a carved Carnelian...

Here is one with a light behind it. Thanks for the ideas so far. Looks like it may have been worth quite a bit if it was in better shape.
