French Looking Find

[Seabiscuit]

Can anybody tell me what this thing is I found at a spot where many civil war relics have been found?
I'm not sure what era it's from.
I think it's made of lead or pewter.
Thanks for any help.

Floyd,
I'm dying to know what this piece is that you dug.
You had the most unusual find for sure.

Amazing how so many times an item turns up on here and then a few days later the same or similar turns up again!

It looks like a bridle rosette with a Fleur de lis, and a very old one at that! Super find

Not sure what to call it but I wouldn't call it a FDL.

Close but no cigar.

just a generic floral type pattern, similar to many horse rosette designs

Judging from the attachment points on the back, it is certainly some sort of leather decoration or rosette.

I agree; I think generic fleur de lis 'style.'
