I was out exploring in the woods. Not much to show for it aside from a tombac button and this piece here. If it looks familiar, fill me in. I think it is religious.

Religious Pin?

Looks like Christ carrying the cross to Golgotha, where he was crucified.
 

Haha, Golgotha. That's what my grandmother used to call the hill she had to take on the way back from the grocery store.

It looks like he's carrying something.
 

St. Andrew it is! Thanks, IP.
 

Think it is a military piece - worn on a tartan sash - think bagpipers - similar to this:
[SIZE=-1]Black Watch Pipe Major’s silver plaid brooch with light gold wash on center.[/SIZE]
