Well, this is no Argonian relic, that much is obvious. Note the curvilinear design elements. I'd say it's Kothringi; the question is, what does it depict? A lot of these shapes seem reminiscent of waves. Some kind of nautical deity? That focal shape is clearly a spade—the symbol of the Kothringi God of Agriculture, Z'en. A fascinating deity, that Z'en. We know the Wood Elves swear on him for vengeance's sake. I doubt the Kothringi version keeps blood-debts in his portfolio. Z'en is not an inherently vengeful deity. "Payment in kind" can mean equitable trade, basic fairness, and so on. By all accounts, the Kothringi were decent folk who placed great emphasis on forthrightness. Perhaps reverence for Z'en played a role.
