Default Guessing ...

Ye, some holes would have been made with rudimentary (medieval) drills and the others perforated with a spike... by a less skilled author, so to say.
But what have been the use for the second episode; stick it back in the same place or give it a new home, having nothing to do withs its primary purpose ?

Hello together,

while the precise usage is still unclear, I figured out that the red material was wax (I think seal wax) and a later supplement as it layed over the green corrosion layer. So I removed it and gave the piece a slight cleaning. Here is what it does look like now.

Best regards
Andreas

I found this interesting collection of pendants:

No 68 - 71 are quite similar to mine. Description of No 68:

Sadly it doesnīt give any clear information. But they might have had the same purpose.

Cheers
Andreas

Some of these things in the links are minuscle; less than half the size of yours.
How is your French, Andreas ? You can contact one or two of these 'detection passion' forums. In the link they invite you to e-mail detection.passion@orange.fr

Hi Fernando,

yes, but some also are nearly the same size. Itīs a good idea to contact them via mail. Sadly my French is very very bad, but I can use the translator
