A Madeira Portugal ox drawn sledge is what your charm is depicting. The most similar charm to yours that I’ve found is here https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/51440546_miniature-chinese-pendant-charm-sleigh-carriage-hearse There are other charms on eBay and Etsy, some gold and with red velvet interiors. There are also postcards depicting the ox drawn sledges. This article has some info https://www.maritimeheritage.org/ports/portugalMadeira.html A nice image of one https://www.ebay.com/i/313033183338 A fancy gold one https://www.etsy.com/hk-en/listing/697460032/madeira-ox-drawn-sleigh-with-red-fabric I’m not sure of the value of yours.
