    I have this pendant and I have no idea about its origin or anything else.. I don't even know what terms to use for my search (I see sort of a woman/goddess).. First picture is the front, second picture is the back (or viceversa), non magnetic.. thank you !

    It looks like it's made of lead. If that's as old as it wants to be...?

    I agree, Thai amulet. It is a walking Buddha, a typical Thai representation of the Buddha.

    These amulets are made by Buddhist monks during specific rituals, and are blessed. They are made from a mix of materials, each monastery has it's own mix.
    Some of the molds are very old, hence the old look of the amulet.
    The general term for Thai amulets is Pra Kruang. Thai people will probably know which monastery this one is from.

    Thai walking Buddha, Sukothai period:

    Exactly. It'd take awhile to identify the specific god.
