Religious Pendant

[Cantstopdigging]

Hello Forum,

I found this pendant at an old home site. It was so badly encrusted that I was unable to see much of anything. After some cleaning and toothpicking I was able to begin to make out some detail. I am still working on it, but if anyone can tell me anything about it this would be great. Thanks for looking!

I would guess it's likely a St. Christopher's medal is they were quite common.

Hello DizzyDigger, thanks for looking. I can’t seem to find a St Christopher’s that looked like this. I considered Notre Dame too, but just can’t seem to figure this out. I will keep working on it.

I think it’s a St. Anthony Medal. Latin.

Nice find! I'll bet all that stuff would just fall right off with electrolysis.

Yes it is, but the inscription is in English. You can just make out the last part of "ST ANTHONY OF PADUA PRAY FOR US".
