Hello Forum,

I found this today deep in a wooded area about 8" deep. At first I thought it was a pendant, now I'm not sure what it is. Does anyone recognize this? Thanks for looking, and Merry Christmas!!!

Hello Gary,

Here is a picture of the back.

 

[villagenut]

looks a little art nouveau to me .....may be a pin from the turn of the century +-

 

[Cantstopdigging]

I can't see any holes in it or areas where there might have been a pin. No makers mark or anything either.

Appears to be wearing a turban. East Indian, perhaps?

Art Nouveau for sure, 1900's-1920's likely doesn't depict a specific person but a personification of 'beauty', as was popular back then.
