Locket :) [ i.e. Miniature potrait/picture locket] Mind you, the phrase seems to suggest that the portrait/picture is not included. I'd say the 'patriotic' element might originate from a symbol engraved, inlaid, etc. on/inside the locket itself.

I have no idea if it cold be a pocket watch or not. This is the complete context and no pictures

since it's about a piece of jewellery, "a pocket watch" would make much more sense than "a tiny painting."
