The image is of saint Anthony of Padua. The Christ child appeared to him in meditation, so he is often depicted with the child. Saint Anthony is invoked when you've lost something, he heads the lost and found department of the church.;) My grandmother gave me this tiny family heirloom when I was little, so I would be reminded of that.
