Anything on the backside?

No backside is completely blank

There seems to be the letter "C" in the background. Could be a clue. Other than that, it makes me think of an anti-slavery medallion.

Your profile pic reminds me of a guy who was on TNet several years ago; right now I can't call his name. Any of the old Tnet folks know who I'm talking about?

Great idea! I changed my avatar one time, and no one knew who I was; LOL. When I open a post, I glance down the avatar pics and immediately know who has posted, unless it's a new member.

Thanks for the close up. While I am not sure what the medallion is for yet, I'd like to suggest that you do not hold items you are taking pictures of. As you can tell the camera tends to focus on your fingers and not the item. Sorry to nit pick but sometimes small details in an item can aid in research. If the item is dark in color I suggest laying it on a white piece of paper for contrast.

clearly the one person is being submissive to the other --so a slavery related item most likely as in --slavery is wrong (anti slavery -- so pre civil war to civil war era most likely age frame wise.

It is symbolizing the sign of Gemini. Here is another similar-

Based on the 1950's style, this New Bronze medallion has the zodiac Gemini on the front and textured on the back. The pendant is about 3/4 inch wide with a bronze jump ring on the top.
