Hi I have one very similar and have done a lot of web searching about it and it appears to be vintage Damascene Torledo gold ( thank you A for your help here), mine has a s or 5 and I don't know either, so will keep an eye out for any answers about it : )
This is a typical gold inlay done by hand by goldsmiths in Toledo, Spain. The vintage (prior to 1980s) ones were all made by inlaying a gold thread to make the different designs.
The ones found today are machine made, and not so intricate.
Years ago you could even walk into the workshops and see how they worked....safety rules forbid that now...
Thank you both
