Default Found this Charm

Found this charm and as it has dried I have noticed more and more detail. I orginally though that it was a childs charm. I think the outside edge is gold and it may be glass or possible plastic resin but it's not Scratched up which makes me think glass. I can see a stream and trees and possiblely roses? I found this on a play ground about 7-8 inches down. ICE

Default Charm

If it is the same on both sides and has only the one eyelet at the top I would say that it came from a charm bracelet. I blew up the pic and it appears that it may have come from around the mid 1900's. More than likely painted glass.
