Buckle or horse tack or what?

This was found at a rev war site, any ideas what it could be? It is not made of iron.

Could be. That would be my guess...but they are usually made of iron.

not sure what it is, but it is a cool find

What size is it?
You provide no reference.

Thinnest area could be from a metal tongue wearing against it like a belt buckle. Or a flaw in it's creation.
Could be from a martingale , or from a girth strap. Or a link between two straps on a powder horn , or it could be a blanket pin ;or anything...

If not made of iron, what is it made of?
