✅ SOLVED Small square with hieroglphics

[Rocklander]

Seems to be of either copper or brass. Found metal detecting around a house built in the 20's. It has been abandoned since the 80's and is in the middle of the woods. Property goes back to the mid 1800's, but original house was torn down and the current house was built. Found in Venango County, in northwest Pennsylvania.

I remember seeing that in my 1909 Sears Roebuck catalog. There are several squares attached together.

Perhaps links to an old belt.

This motif was popular in the early part of the 1900s.

It's from a belt

sorry i should have posted the pic from the magazine earlier. Its easy to miss stuff on a celphone. It could be a belt or necklace but I havent seen any this exact style. Those old catalogs are great for making IDs here.

Good job BigC.
I thought it was from this belt.
I didnt notice holes are wrong.

Thats actually a match except for the holes. It must be the same manufacturer. I dont remember seeing it in my book but my Sears catalog was not complete so maybe Sears sold it as well.

The fob was originally silver plated on German silver. The belt looks bronze
