Need help identifying this interesting artifact

[cashole]

It was found on private land joining the battle of the washita in cheyenne oklahoma its approx the size of a half dollar The reverse is blank an corroded roughly almost as if there was another side to it but fell off its not hollow like a pocket watch I would take pictures but it's on loan an I believe to be displayed in the black kettle museum I'm curious if this is a trade item or something off more importance I'm not sure how to interpret the nativity seen and what it means

Nativity scene? Am I missing something? I see an owl and what appears to be a bluejay.

I see two owls perched on a branch. Is it metal?

Yes it's metal appears to be iron rang up as iron on whites vx3 I agree with the two owls perched on a branch I can't find anything like it and am curious what exactly it was used for or if it has any cultural significance or am I over analyzing it and it's just something someone carved they thought was cool I just don't know
