Nice find! There's a good free online book here that will help you age and identify it yourself

I would only clean it with a small dry brush. The patina looks like it may come off if it gets wet.

Yeah, looks like a colonial shoe buckle, missing the fangs. Essentially like the reproduction in the middle of this page: http://www.scarletscarab.com/buckles2.htm their part # bws2c

It's brass, so you don't need to do anything to preserve it. Just keeping it in a dry place it will not further deteriorate, it will stay the same pretty much forever.
