Bronze pendant, of unknown origin. It was tentatively identified as 3-4th century
Roman by an archaeologist friend, but I was wondering if anyone here
had seen anything of similar design. I do not know its place of origin. The hanger at the top is almost worn through, presumably by a chain or string.
Interestingly, it has three sets of two holes around its pattern, which are punched through. The bottom set is along the break line. What purpose might this have served?
The back is simple, depressed, and has a generally unfinished look to it.
