It is 1 1/8 inches wide and made of brass or copper, looks somewhere in the middle. There are no tell tale signs of how it was mounted on the back. Any ideas? Art

By design influence it looks Renaissance / Florentine. Not to imply that its 15th Century. If 19th Century then its Renaissance Revival. Lobster tail helmet.
While I have aimed in my postings to be irenic and conciliatory, rather than polemic, I have yet endeavored to set forth the
truth, let it favor or impugn whom it might. Any notice of misrepresentations or mistakes occurring in these prose will be most thankfully received

I think your medallion is a portrayal of St. George. Hence the dragon. It has similar design details as the cameo, ca. 1820, with its
lobstertail helmet, scaled earflaps & ruffles at the neck. This suggests they may have both been modeled after a more
commonly known image of St. George. I think your medallion is at least early 19th century. Pommeraie Antiques - s045 - antique victorian vintage cameos, cameo brooch

St George it is. The timeline is right. Thank you for the ID. Arty
