✅ SOLVED Im not sure what this is

I'm not sure what this is

I'm not sure what this is, so I'm hoping someone on here can tell me. Thanks for any help.

What's the other side look like? It's almost buckle like.

Some kind of concho. Size? Weight?

I would guess the top to an inscence burner? Many (most?) are brass, as this appears to be, with openings of widely varied design.

I'm sorry I don't have a scale at this time. It is 2 7/8 inches long and 2 1/4 inches wide. The back is concave. It does appear to be brass.

I agree with mrs. oroblanco..........pretty sure it's a concho. Because of it's size it probably came off a saddle or other horse tack.

Never mind my earlier guess... I agree with Mrs.O, concho; Brass-ornamental-stampings-catalog-page46

Thank you so much. I thought it had something to do with a saddle. When I binged Civil war Conchos I found this picture.

looks like some of the ones that is on my saddle

Thanks again everyone for your input. I did have a feeling that it had to do with horse tack, but for some reason just couldn't put my finger on it.
