I'm curious as to what the back looks like and what it may have been affixed to?

Possibly a representation of King Tut?

One of the most fascinating things about Ancient Egypt is the detailed stories of its long history. Although lots of stories have survived through the course of human history, it is often left up to scholars and scientists to decipher which of these stories are true. The world had long been aware of rumours of a Boy King in the history of Ancient Egypt, but it was the discovery of King Tut’s tomb in 1922 that solidified the reality of a child taking control of one of the world’s great empires and civilizations.

Front and back are the same? is one or two pieces?

Maybe the remains of a brooch that had stones in the holes.

Do a Google image search on "King Tut brooch". You'll see hundreds of different examples.

The pictures are of each side. It looks the same on both.

Same. It’s one piece

Can we see the back? It almost looks like the lid off a jar to me.

The OP said the pictures show both sides and that they are identical. If you look carefully you can see the wear on the metal is different on one side versus the other.

Egyptian revival appliqué for a piece of furniture or similar, 1920s or so.
