Vintage Enameled Metal Dog Tag Pendant with Italian Horn (Corne)

This item is an oval-rectangular metal dog tag pendant, likely constructed from a base metal alloy with an enameled or heat-treated finish. The pendant features a distinctive three-tone color gradient transition from a silver-toned polished top through a vibrant purple/violet midsection into a warm bronze or copper-toned bottom half. At the center is an embossed or applied 'Corne' (Italian Horn) motif, which is a traditional amulet used for protection against the evil eye. The horn is rendered in a dark metallic finish that provides a high-relief tactile element to the piece. The pendant measures approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in length and features a circular suspension hole at the top for a chain. Notable condition issues include significant damage to the lower left-hand edge, where a piece of the metal has been chipped or broken away, exposing the darker interior material. There are also visible surface abrasions, fine scratches, and minor pitting consistent with a vintage item that has been worn frequently. The lack of visible hallmarks suggests mass-production, likely from the late 20th century (1970s-1990s), designed as a piece of costume jewelry or a luck-themed souvenir.
