Very decorative piece. Jewelry?

This piece has a flower design all around it. There's even a flower in the middle surrounding the center hole. The back is pushed out (made that way). Any ideas of what this is and how old?

my guess would be victorian era flower brooch.like this mourning brooch..

There are also locket-type things where folks would put a little 'cotton wool' dabbed w/ perfume- so the aroma would cover up their otherwise stinky selves. That would be the perforated 'lid'. Any signs of a hinge? Or any kind of attachment that broke off?
Just a guess- HH! Yakker

Hmm. Could be. The only "attachment" I can think of Is the hole in the center.
