What (do you think) is it made of?

This is a charm, either an amulet, intended to shield from harm, or a talisman, intended to grant them good luck. One of the symbols is the cross within a circle associated with the zodiac.

Eek that's creepy. It's probably haunted and cursed

Soddy craftmanship tells me it's a novelty item of no real value

Need a more clear image of those insignias. It looks like something my grandfather wore but the face looks a little different.

Got on my comp to see em and they're more clear. My grandpa got it in south america somewhere from a which or gypsy if I recall. She convinced him he had an evil spirit following him which he bought into entirely. However the ring was supposed to keep it at bay. He also refused to speak to female doctors because that was a mans profession and if he saw a black man enter a public bathroom he'd sneer and grumble or if he was on his way toward said bathroom when it happened he'd refuse to go in until they had come out. So there's that.
