Looks like a butterfly with an unusual back and no inscriptions. About the size of a half dollar, unknown metal type.

Very odd. It might actually be a bola. Bee symbol often related to fertility in women, i.e. pregnancy bee bolas. Compare back to modern photo: .

Just saw this exact moth on a Jeopardy question today! It is the trademark signature for Patron Tequila. They package their most expensive Gran Patron Platinum, @ $195.00 a bottle, with a silver plated cork, in a velvet bag secured with a lanyard with the above bronze Bolo. All this and on Cinco de Mayo. Whoda thunk.
