Hi
I don't know for sure what it actually is (brooch or pendant?) but I think it's probably Victorian and is carved antler/bone set in glass.
A few similar examples here: https://www.google.com/search?q=victori ... sid=mosaic
I'm leaning towards it being a pendant which has lost it's loop and back.
eg https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/ ... 02b4876946
Whatever it is, I like it - I think it would make a nice Christmas decoration (if that's your type of thing) [81/]
Cheers, Ruth
