That scrap you gave translates:

“Beneath your compassion, we take refuge, O Theotokos: do not despise our petitions in time of trouble, but rescue us from dangers, only pure, only blessed one.”

Theotokos = Mother of God

The silver item with the person buried in this article said nothing about Mary.

There is no parallel.
