✅ SOLVED Picture locket?anyway to tell its age?

[DigIron2]

Found this at a place that was supposed to have been a old school house a long time ago,but there is no record that I could find that states when.It is a locket of some kind.I guess for a picture but not sure how they would have gotten one in there?.It looks like it might have had glass over the hole on the front.I am thinking maybe a teacher lost it being that it is a book.Just looking to find out what kind of locket it is,and if possible what period it might be from?

Looks religious (like a bible). Possibly a reliquary? Design appears to be late 1800s.

Thanks,that does help.I imagine it might have had a picture of Jesus or someone encased in it when it was made because it doesn't open.As far as I know most picture lockets open?

Thanks,I've been hunting the place for awhile now.Every once in awhile I'll pull something decent,but you know how it goes most of the time,not as much as I would like.
