I found this decorative piece of stamped brass in a Confederate CW camp.It is 1 1/4 inches wide and 1 1/8 inches tall, not including tail ribbon. It has 2 hooks on the back. At the bottom there are 2 tail pieces that are supposed to protrude downwards ( one is broken off ,,the other is bent to the back)...There is a woman on the face of it wearing a necklace and some kind of crown or headdress. In the background appear to be 5 tents?...Anyone have any idea what this might be or who this woman might be?...thanks and HH.

Clearer pictures would greatly help.

My guess though is the Queen Victoria? Maybe dropped by a British Ambassador or Officer?

Some of the old large digital cameras with floppy disc take the best closeups but you need a macro (flower icon) lens setting.

Most certainly. It is a suspender clip.  And it strongly suspect it is a generic Greek goddess or a generic Woman figure on the clip.

Re: Can anyone identify this woman??

do you have a flower icon on your camera for close-ups?

The old large digital cameras take very good closeups. Something about the distance to the lens being greater.

Initially when i first found it , I thought i saw an epilette on the shoulder, but upon closer examination...the necklace, low cut dress, and large breaseses led me to believe this is definitely a woman.

I see you added some better pictures. You found the flower icon? ;D :thumbsup: Looks like you used daylight but try a darker background such as blue or green.

interesting....

It appears to be some type of Victorian lady (notice the very tiny hat on her hair and the feather like thing).....
