Need some help figuring this one out

Folks...
I need some help identifying this. I found this at a farm field permission where a new home is being built.

Some additional pictures may help kick this ID into gear.

I agree, pictures of the other side may help

Looks like a 'terret or swinger' type of bell that might have hung from the top of a horse hame.

Take a look at these... https://collectorshorsebrasses.weebly.com/terrets--swingers.html

Thanks Dave!
You may be on to something here. Under the dirt you can see hints of green weathering which would lead to me to believe it is brass

Thanks, Dave. You may have solved another of my “What is its?” I found this near a barn in VT...
Maybe a terret or swinger? Now to look up the purpose of those!

Kim, thank you so much for posting this link to The National Horse Brass Society.
This is something I've always wondered about since I found this piece in 2017.

Thankfully I was able to get an I'D. on it from Cru.
Hope you're enjoying your Independence Day long weekend,
Dave
