Possible furniture ornate.

Some body was angry enough to shoot it.

Since it doesn't appear to have any holes for attachment, the connection would have to be folded, so I'm going with either a Victorian lady's belt buckle or either part of a Victorian bell pull. Both of which could be folded into cloth material. The belt pictured below is all brass, but I posted the pic for the buckle. If that is a gun shot . . .OUCH . . .and let's think bell pull instead of belt! Breezie

If this was a belt thingy, then Yep, this could be a murder.........Hope not

My guess is nail hole and at one time attached to wood.

Brizze, if it were attached to cloth, wouldn't it only have Three tabs to fold over so the cloth could slid into one side?.
Oh that's a gunshot for sure!. I think it is some sort of Furniture decoration or maybe a piece from Crown moulding?
