This is a nice Renaissance silver devotional pendant, dating to the 16th - 17th century A.D. The pendant is decorated with a double-sided Verre Églomisé panel, one side with a depiction of young Christ, the other with the Arma Christi. The panels are nicely set within a silver bevel, decorated with granulation and twisted ropework band. It is a very nice example, intact and original. Such a piece may have been purchased on a pilgrimage to Rome.
