🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Snake skull brooch?

[tokiomachineshop]

Found this in Lovejoy Ga where civil war took place. Lots of artifacts found in the area and this piece washed up from the rain. It looks like a brooch (loop on back) of a skull(side view) with a snake wrapped around it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Neat looking

Maybe it has something to do with the day of the dead? I remember something about a skull and snake imagery being used for that. Other than that I can't think of where else that imagery is common place besides the modern era of tattoos.
