Brooch?

[rodarian]

Here's an interesting item that i found in my favorite hunting spot. (my backyard) I really have no idea what it is but i think it's brass. Pretty sure the stones are NOT real and looks like it's missing the middle stone. It's approx. 3" from bottom to top.

That would be my guess. Nice find!

A brooch would have a pin back, your item is more likely a sash buckle.

Hmm, i never considered a sash buckle. Thanks to you both for looking at whatever it may be. I do think it's old.
