Any idea what this was (date)

. Found this at a 1700s property my best guess would be early 19th century but no one seems to know anything about it any ideas welcome thanks!

I’d guess them to be decorations from a wooden chest.

A picture of the reverse side of this piece would be helpful.
Are the plates thin flexible stamped brass or thicker plates?
