🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Owl Pendant found at old cellar

[Fossils]

Hi folks

I found this pendant next to an New England cellar with 18th and 19th century history. The site has yielded 18th century flat buttons, a Woods Hibernia copper, and some fat IHPs among other odds and ends.

The pendant is made of a copper-based alloy and had been gold plated. It is very thin. The front has a design of an owl on a branch with a star and moon design. The back is plain.

Any similar examples or thoughts on the age of this piece would be appreciated. Thanks!

Dozens of possibilities but, Temple University comes to mind.
