A Medalion?

[Bubba65]

Hi All,

I dug this today. I think it is a medalion not sure. Was wondering if anyone knows it's age and what it really is. I dug this not far from the matching buckles I found on Saturday. Thanks for any help and for looking.

It reminds me of a "Mamluk Dynasty" (1250-1517) Islamic coin.

Agreed, made to look like but used as jewelry, sort of gold plated item a belly dancer might wear

The text on the piece is Hebrew. It would not be an Islamic piece.

didn't do much research, but this fits the 'fake coin' belly dancer idea perfectly (I have no idea what it says, only what it looks like) - jewelry

If in Hebrew, then correct me if I'm wrong, the text needs to be read from right to left.

 

[foundinrolls]

Yes, it's read from right to left starting at the top right....

Can you read Hebrew?

I don't have an idea, but someone else may have one.
