Gold Plated? Copper?

JakeCpuNut · Jan 14, 2012

Found these 2 items today at a home built in 1913...

The smaller item was found next to a sidewalk and the larger item was found about 15 yards away next to the road.. Have NO idea what they are!

Could be zinc or some other cheap alloy. Def not copper or brass. They won't pit like that. Cool finds either way.

Gold painted alloy or pewter. :?:

Thanks for the input.. It looks like to be a roman figure ? Judging from the, what looks like a Wreath as a headband ??

Also if you notice the little hook on the back of the neck, it did circle up and hook to the bottom of the hairline..

Showing around on the net, work etc.. I've heard

Pendant
Furniture ornamant

Here are the 2 closes images I could find..

the first one definitely looks like there was something on the neck that was a part of the head dress.. like a ribbon or something?
