Your "bronze clip" appears to be a broken-off part of a horsebridle "gag swivel chain," from the very-late 1800s into the early 1900s... and still being made and used today. The diagram (below) showing an intact one is from the 1907 Pierson & Hough horsegear catalog. You've got the (broken) hook end of the gag-chain. The other photo shows a slightly different form, in this case modern-made, for sale on the internet at leatherworks.com.
