Hi, now there a different kind of a find. Nice finds

 

[Roundness]

Outstanding!!!!!

 

[CRUSADER]

Hasn't that broke. ie. the chain from the man to the donkey?

 

[PowerDubs]

I don’t think so. I think that is a lasso. If you notice he also has a small loop his left hand.

 

[PowerDubs]

And while a cowboy may lasso a horse – I’m not sure he would lasso a laden pack mule.

Interesting Find’s! At first I thought it was the opening line of a joke...A Cowboy and a Donkey walk into a bar...

I was wondering the same thing but worse! Thank goodness the OP had pictures.

Looks to be from the same piece of jewelry, i.e., two brooches connected by the "rope". Does not look like they were toys. IMHO. Very interesting find, congratulations! Sub
