A wonderful and quirky creation.
Not sure if it is Swedish, but it might be.
To me, the face looks like a personification of a season / month / wind one often sees in the Medieval, Renaissance and later art.
Floral decor of newest the background is gorgeous too, the flower stems and tendrils are made of wire and the whole thing looks a bit like cloisonné.
The metal must be bronze, and it is very beautiful. Even the backside is decorative with its dot pattern.
Circa 7 cm long, 2 cm wide, 0.7 cm deep.
Nice antique condition with some patina.
