Is the bar on the back fixed on both ends?

 

[VAdigger1988]

Yea it's fixed and with two holes on each side almost like it was attached to something I thought maybe like a pin of some sorts

Could it be a repousse brooch like one ai dug last summer?

.. Then I doubt it is a hair clip .. it has all the right characteristics to be either a sash slide or a scarf slide .. That would be my guess.

It looks like a 19th century French shoe buckle.
