The 2nd photo is at if were worn as a pendent.

Pretty sure it is Roman....

Ave!

Turns out that it is a brooch with a missing pin...not a pendent.  ::)

The figures are Joseph left, Mary right (with a somewhat modern coiffure (?) and between them
holding the infant Christ Child in swaddling clothes.

Who knew!

Thanks for looking and best to all,

Kevin
