The back side is gone, there isn't anything to help identify it as a button, or whatever. This turned up in NW NJ by the Delaware River a bit north of Easton, PA.

Early 20th C openwork brass women's fashion button. Floral motif.

I can't find an exact match but there are tons of similar styles on the internet.

So many good ideas so far. Time to start google-fu and see what I can dig up - Thank you for all the great pointers! I also added 3 more pics, including what's left of the back side of it.
