Yes, it is a pendant, but probably not a temple hanging. Cf. this post, please: https://www.facebook.com/ethnicjewelleryandadornment/photos/a.36592....
A lovely and well preserved piece, Lila. I agree with Joost that it's a pendant ... and one with amuletic properties. I think it has an opening at the top so that the owner can put sacred texts or hopes and wishes inside.
