🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Stamped thin copper - hairpin??

[lrgoodger]

Unfortunately, I hit this hard with the shovel. I can bend it with my fingers. It is thin copper. The pattern looks like a grape vine with a cluster of grapes. It looks like there might have been something soldered to the front side just above and to the right of center. I'm assuming some kind of pin so it could be attached to a lady's hair, but one would have thought that would be attached to the rear side. I can see no other evidence of anything being attached. It is 1.8" wide and 2.36" long. Any ideas on what it is?

That's a pretty piece. I'm not sure what it is, but my guess is an appliqué of some sort.
