Brass Head

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

This brass head is about as wide as a quarter and about as tall as a half dollar. Any ideas about what it's from? Was dug in a mid-1800s site but the site has lots of contamination from later eras up through the 1940s.



Thanks in advance,

Buck

Back is blank. Certainly broken.

Complete guess, but reminds me of a figural ornate French clock piece
