I dug this horse bridle rosette at a site where I've found early 19th C military uniform buttons and musket balls. This one looks to be lead filled. Anyone have info on a possible date for it? Could it have been from a military horse? Thanks

It has similar characteristics to the Civil War era "bullseye" artillery horse rosette. But I think the flower motif in the center makes it decidedly not military.
