Greek Soldier Pendant Appraisal

Ancient Roman/Greek Style Soldier Head Charm/Pendant

This item is a decorative charm or pendant, likely intended for jewelry such as a necklace, bracelet, or keyring. It features a bas-relief depiction of a human head in profile, strongly resembling an ancient Roman or Greek soldier, possibly Alexander the Great or a similar historical figure, wearing a distinctive helmet. The helmet covers the top of the head and ear, with a stylized crest or plume visible at the apex. The facial features, though not perfectly clear in the provided images, suggest a classical aesthetic. The charm is relatively small, consistent with typical charm sizes. Based on the visual matches and their descriptions, the material appears to be a metal alloy, possibly antiqued bronze or silver-colored metal, giving it a weathered, aged appearance. The finish is probably deliberately oxidized or treated to achieve this antique look. There is a small loop or jump ring at the top, indicating its purpose as an attachment point. The overall construction suggests it is a cast or stamped piece. Visible condition appears good, with the 'antique' finish being part of its intended aesthetic and not necessarily wear or damage. The piece demonstrates a decent level of detail for its size, focusing on the helmet and profile, indicating mass production rather than unique craftsmanship. It falls into a 'Modern/Vintage' style, meaning it is likely a contemporary piece manufactured to evoke an older, classical style.
