Hi to all,

I have found an intricate piece with great detail but don't know the origin.
I'm thinking a Chinese button and my elderly Chinese friends think it maybe a charm or from a rosary.
It was found in a road cutting walking back to the car in Creswick after an uneventful day.
Thought it was a sinker when dirty and told my son to toss it, he said "nah dad, its got some pattern on it"
Cleaned it up when we got home and the detail is amazing.

If anyone has found the same or any thoughts regarding origin would be greatly appreciated.

Happy my son doesn't listen to me all the time!!!

Looks like a Chinese button to me a rosary bead would have a hole through the bead I'd think.
