odd copper pendant

[Moe (fl)]

This copper pendant was found at the beach.

It is a crescent moon with a five-pointed star. It looks old!

My initial research says it could be a Celtic charm. Any ideas what these symbols mean. Masonic?

The symbols are similar to those used on the Pakistan flag

SS

Yep, SS is right. The symbol of a crescent moon holding a non-crossing five-pointed is a symbol for Islam for today, but your pendant may be older and represent the 'going thing' for that era.

It could also be a gang symbol because the Vice Lords Nation symbol is a cresent moon with a five pointed star in it.

Almost look like a combination of the two symbols

The celtic pic posted is upside down and star positioned different angle. It does however have the cut out in the star.

The Islamic pics posted have the crescent moon angled.

I'm leaning towards masonic or other

Neat find Moe

This one is Celtic.

Fantasy Celtic. You will find nothing Iron Age like this. They used the Crecent moon, & they used knot work (generally, not together) but thats about it.

Eastern Star, maybe?

 

[traderoftreasures]

i would guess masonic as well

It might be from the Shriner's.

Thanks for the responses.

I have not been able to find an exact match which leads to believe that this one is older.

I agree that it may be of masonic purpose.

Wooo-Hooo Arid, neat find; can we get a close up of the man and one of the moon/star? Breezie

 

[Arid-Zone-A-seeker]

well,,,,

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Not a match but it does show another example of a Masonic crescent moon and star. Like IS said, Islam has the crescent moon angled.

I think its definitely Shriners or Masonic, not Arabic. http://www.waterburybutton.com/cart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=21833
