    These are my latest finds. The brass cross-shaped pendant looks very sexual, while the brass pendant is befuddling me the most; is it just me or does the outstretched legs of the four figures almost form a swastika?

    Brass four legged one is a variant on a triskelion. Celtic. Can't remember the name.

    I figured it wasn't an actual cross, I just wasn't sure what to call it otherwise. :) I should've written cross-shaped pendant.

    The lion badge is Dutch, the coat of arms of the Netherlands:

    The fertility idol is Ashanti, but could have been made anywhere.

    It looks strangely familiar. I feel like I've seen it before.
    Thank you!

    The motifs on the rectangular pendant look like Slavic or Baltic embroidery.

    Yeah, it kind of reminded me of a tree of life pattern.
