I found this artifact in a field that was farmed in colonial times up until the early 1900s. While I have found religious medallions before that were very recognizable, I haven't found anything quite like this before. I am pretty sure this is a religious image, though I can't tell of whom, i.e.,Jesus, Mary, Joseph, etc. I am not sure of the metal type, but it is obviously very delicate - perhaps pewter or bronze? Does not seem like a brooch or something that would hang from a chain, so I really don't know its purpose. Does this item look familiar to anyone? Any guesses on age? Would love to hear your opinions. Thanks for looking and responding.
