It looks like its something from a casket.....

I would agree that it is definitely death-related. If it's quite small, it might be a mourning jewelry pin.

That is a really interesting relic. A head with wings usally is a funerary symbol, and I have seen that somewhere before. I'll try to track it down.

I've seen that symbol on old gravestones . It represents " The soul in flight "
My gravestone rubbing kit has it on the label . Interesting find !

1. How big is it, divedigger?

2. What is it made of?

3. Where did you find it?

Neat find! You might want to post it in the "What is it?" section.
