I recently bought this at a thrift shop and am having problem identifying it
I cannot find any hallmarks
The back is engraved in German; it appears to be announcing the birth of a child
It weighs over 90 grams
Anyone know what it is?
Thanks

No idea what it is made of or who did it, but the subject appears to be the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist with the holy spirit represented by the dove.

Thanks I wasn't sure what religious event it was. The back is in German. I'll post a photo of Thay

From what little of it I could translate
It is inscribed with his birthdate and then at the end is inscribed with his mother's name.
