heck I didn't even pay any attention to the size you listed. same image though, maybe something from a set? I'm sure the image has some sort of meaning

Could be part of a large picture button? Here are a few listed in The Big Book of Buttons in the Fables section. Also a description of the theme -

Thank you Bramblefind. Number 12 seems to fit the image quite well. Not sure how big those buttons are, but it's close enough for me to mar this one solved. Great read, too!

Thanks all!

I'm only riding the coat tails of Bramblefind's good work, but here is one that essentially confirms the size question, in that it is slightly larger, but that would be because the button is complete, with ring around the outside: 3227 I ? The Eagle The Snake 1800?s Brass Button | eBay

That puts the icing on the cake for sure. Neat to see what it looked like in all its complete state. Thanks!
