New to forum and need ID

[Davethejunky]

Hi, I have been reading this forum for some time and have enjoyed the many hours spent here along all the help. Now it's time to break my silence and ask for an ID on an item I found this past fall with my Vaquero.

This is either a broach or pendant of some sort, it's stamped sterling/ Siam on back. Has an oriental figure on front set in what appears to be Onyx. I am amazed that it is in such good shape for being in the ground for however many years.

Any help would be appreciated.
