Found this at a very old homestead but am not sure how old any ideas. Looks like it at one point had a pin on it. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1442181128.176542.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1442181144.441464.webp
 

Pretty neat design but I don't know what it could have been. Nice Find, Congrats!

Your brooch is from the Victorian era, and is probably made from brass. In 1840 Queen Victoria and her husband attended Derby Day. Below is a link with more information on Derby Day.

I'm not saying your brooch was made in 1840, but it was made sometimes during the Victorian era.
