    I think I have identified the image as the Hindu God Shri Krishna pictured with a cow. Please correct me if I am wrong. The pendant (if indeed that's what it is) looks handmade, and maybe the image is hand painted. Was it handmade in India? does it have some age or are they being currently made. Thank you for looking and any information.

    Yes, it is an Indian pendant depicting Krishna. The cow is a bull named Nandi.

    Thank you @Any Jewelry. Does it have some age and assuming it is handmade, was it perhaps a souvenir?

    I don't think yours has much age, and these are still made. They are bought by locals as religious pendants and by tourists as souvenirs.
    You can probably find similar ones on eBay or Etsy, so you have an idea of the asking price range.
