Sunflower _______ ?

Dug this up at lunch today where I had found a Shield Nickel and a couple 1800's IHP's. Here it is cleaned up a bit.

It was found at an old abandoned farm site. Any ideas what this could have been?
Thx!!

Is it made of brass? Double sided?

It's made of brass. Similar thickness to a brass suspender buckle (in other words pretty fragile after being buried for ___ years). Was thinking some kind of decorative suspender connector, but the 3 tie points seem pretty small. Not near a known cemetery. Rang up like a silver dime... don't they all...
