Incan,Mayan? Almost looks cast, but may be pressed. Looks like someone went at it with a knife or hacksaw.

?.............Good luck!

It strikes me as just maybe an old pendant that broke, and lost it's bale.
May be Mexican...Peruvian,etc.

Kia Ora, Hi
That looks very cool. It has my initials M (over the) W in it. Can you identify the metal?
Those hacksaw-looking marks do appear on both sides - could that be a crude attempt at assaying the precious metal content?
Cheers, Mike

I think it is a pendant that was worn through or broken off also. But I haven't a clue about its origin, meaning or etc. Could be just someone sawing on it for lack of nothing better to do. I'm a piddler so I do things like that sometimes for no other reason. Monty

I think Tony is on the right track. I think it depicts the twins (in fetal position) used in so many cultural stories from around the world about creation. They represent the duality of life - sun & moon, earth & sky, good & evil, man & woman...
