Sorry, I mean that part of the universe. (getting too old I think! Its all still the USSR in my head!)
Its an orthodox Christian image.

I guess a way to possibly pin it geographically is by the other elements of the horse crest/coat or arms?
The crossed sword and arrow is distinctlive.
Apart from that.
The crown looks like the Russian one, the silverwork looks like that on 'cossak' belts, the icon is an Orthodox one.

Seems like its been in 'that' area.

Remounted captured or imported weapon?
