No markings apart from the paganistic markings
Approx 2.5 inches tall by 1/4 inch wide, putting them together make it 1/2 inch wide

The script is Ogham, which is a very early Irish Script from just after the fall of the Roman Empire in England. I doubt your piece is that old though. I'm guessing the holes are the tops of the parts, and they translate to MANA on the left, and ARAC on the right..... Not sure if that actually means anything or if someone thought it just looked neat. If you flip them over the letters are SARA and AQAM....

My immediate first thought is that it's some sort of love or friendship charm where two people each get a side to wear....

Well in theory I'm sure aliens taught old Irish forefathers the Script and had them model the stones they would transcribe onto in the shape of the crafts door handles :p
