"Protect-Me" in English.  It looks like a pretty keepsake with a photo or illustration of a mother and child, probably hand made.  Maybe it was afixed to something at one time.

It is a roman Catholic religious artifact.  That is an image Mary and Jesus.   "Protege-Me" means "protect me" in Portuguese.  The rose has long been associated with the Virgin Mary, since it symbolizes both love and purity.
