Found this heavy silver religious pendant in an area of woods where I have found Civil War 3-ringers and Barber dimes in Rhode Island. It is not marked (i.e., 925,Sterling) but tests very nicely for silver. I know it's a pendant, but any idea of its age or history? Homemade? It's different. Thank you.

Very interesting piece... :icon_scratch: I'd say its Saint Christopher patron saint of travel. :thumbsup: He generally is portrayed as a man carrying a child. 8-) The design looks kinda old, hard to tell age maybe custom piece ?? :dontknow:

Keep @ it and HH !! :hello2:
 

First thought, Abraham, taking Isiah to sacrifice him.
You would think he would have to drag him, but I believe the koran tells it a little different.
Not Catholic, so sorry, not real "up" on the saints.
 

I also thought St. Christopher but have not seen that particular image before.
