1700 house find

[Whatdayagot]

Anyone ever found something like this? It was found at a 1700s house it's metal about an inch to inch 1/2 long I assume its colonial because of scallop design any clues will be appreciate as to what it may have been for

It remind me of part of a buckle.

Broken doorknob?

Horse brass? Looks like it had iron pins on the backside.

 

[DigIron2]

kind of reminds me of a 18th century rosette?

On the backside it looks like it was attached to something and it has specific grooves/cuts

 

[DigIron2]

I see what you mean.

A friend of mine said maybe a handle to a mug it has a curve to it but I'm not sure what it is and don't know why it has such distinct cuts/grooves

Maybe its a scallop hat badge for the pilgrimage of St James (El Camino de Santiago) It looks really old 17th or 18th century.

Possibly a 18th century leather adornment for a horse?

Woah... now isn't that an interesting little tidbit...

Definitely 1700's imo...
Perhaps a "pull" ?
Errr....
Lemme looksee aty fewie thingies.

Welp... first cursory searches did not yield a "key" to what this may be...
BUT...
I have an opinion...
It has been destroyed OR has been altered / damaged...
I think it was originally "rounded" or round.
Sides have been "cut" imo .. but ?

I'm going with bridal rosette, or what's left of one. Probably mid-to-late 1700s too.

Its part of an 18th C Reign/strap guide for a horse.
