    Hope everyone enjoyed Christmas!

    (Someone dug this pendant up in Suffolk,not sure that is pertinent but thought I'd mention.)

    Not sure it's very old, or what it's made of but is it representing something?
    It has a nice heft...it has a symbol on the hangy bit, is it a manufacture's mark? I just cannot get a pic of it ( quelle surprise).
    It's an inch across and down xx

    Hi Bou.:)
    An Arabic or Persian mark maybe? A Persian (Iranian) lion and sun symbol?

    Hello beautiful AJ,thank you for your reply ... off to have a look!

    I was looking at Egyptian marks and some of them looked similar but that was for silver.

    Do you think the face/head is something or just...a head/face thing?

    The roughish looking bits on the front ... I like those bits for some reason,feels nice :)

    Oops, I wasn't being very clear.:shame: I meant the pendant could be a lion's head in a sun, and the mark Arabic or Persian script.:)

    Morning - not awake yet, so I could be way off. And I'm certainly not awake enough to interpret anything.

    The mark made me think of the Eye of Horus

    The other thing. The star/sun bothered me. It wasn't even. Counted the points and there are only 11.


    @Any Jewelry for interpretation.

    Hendecagram is an 11 pointed star just like the base of the Statue of Liberty.

    Thanks everyone...I am intrigued. Someone else mentioned that the figure looks as if the hair could be snakes? à la Medusa? What do you all think? xxx
