I believe that is a horse bridle rosette

I agree with probable bridle rosette.

Yes, it is a horse bridle rosette... and it is an old one. Stamped sheetbrass disc, whose back was filled with solder, and a "staple-shaped" brass wire crossbrar for attaching to the bridle's leather straps, means it is from the early to mid-1800s.

Thank you all for your knowledge....I greatly appreciate your time. I thinks it's amazing to find these and just to think of the stories that they been thru.

You guys are good!

Nice that it still has the original attachment on the back where the leather harness strap fed through.
On the examples, I find this is usually missing.

Nice find,
