Hi Lisa,
Welcome to the Forum.
Just to get the ball rolling, the design is the Aztec or Mexica calendar. See:

Thank you so much! I have several pieces that I have found in an old barn on my newly acquired property. I have researched for days and have not found a lot of info. I have a feeling this will be a great place to ask questions.

Hi,
For Mexican marks see here:

Number 3 on eagle was used by several Taxco silversmiths.
