    Looks to be top of a mourning locket, brooch, pendant or? Sometimes a mourning piece would have a lock of hair or photo inside of the deceased. It looks to be mid-19th c. or earlier. May have been enameled at one time. Nice find!

    It was to honor someone. Here is another one

    Most likely from a tombstone, and the name was written under it.
