This was found at an early 1900's homesite. The site is remote and not near any modern housing. I'm pretty sure it's a lapel pin but the subject matter on the pin is very intriguing. There are 5 figures; the major figure with a sword and 4 lessor figures that appear to be on their knees before the major figure. The 2 figures on the left look to be a mother and child. At the very top is the eye of Providence or the all seeing eye. I was surprised how vivid the colors are. There is text in blue at the bottom that look to be Greek but I'm not able to decipher. The back of the item has some faint text that I'm not able to capture with the camera. There are 3 characters that are not letters but look to be symbols.

The item rings up 18 on an Equinox 900 and 47 on a Garret AT Max.

I've done a lot of searching online but so far, nothing. Any ideas on what the item is or direction on where to do research would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

OOOOO! That looks like a Knight of the illuminati with the all seeing eye.:blink: But a very cool find for sure.
 
Possibly.....college related?

I think I've figured out what the text is - not Greek but Russian. Still don't know what it says - might be an abbreviation or an acronym. I'm leaning toward the depiction being a saint of the Russian Orthodox Church. Still more research to do.
