Large Victorian pin of some kind...

[Diggincoinz]

Hi, I dug this last week at a mid 1800's home. Obveously it clasps on to something but for what? It seems to be brass and is large in size. Here's a pic of front and back.

Thanks for looking!

Bridle Rosette, I'd say.

Yes Bridle rosette.

That's what I've been hearing also. If so, where does the pretty little lady wear this? In her hair or on her dress somewhere's?

I'm going to present this to the property owners and I'm trying to give them a accurate description of it.

Do you think it's Victorian or early 20th century.

Thanks for your input

Not a Bridle Rossette, it is a two part Sash or Belt Clasp, and proberbly Victorian in era

Yes, SS is correct in that it is Victorian era. Now, as far as the sash or belt clasp is concerned, yes, it could be that 'if' the lady's head faces upward and parallel with the back bar. 'If" the back bar is horizontal when the lady's head is vertical, then it could be a scarf slide or the likes. Neat find, Breezie
