Horse Rosette ?

[Mike in Berks]

I found what i'm 99% sure is a horse rosette. I've dug quite a few
brass with lead filled back rosettes but i'm not sure what this is made of ?
My guess would be pewter? I'll let the experts here decide. 1 + 9/16" wide.

Is it a horse rosette ?
Lead, Pewter, or other metal ?
When were these popular - mid/late 19th century ?

Looks like a rosette to me.
I have these on my bridle, harness for driving, made of brass.
They are still popular, However this one could be a very old one.
Nice find!

Thanks for the reply Boomdeyada I'm convinced now.
Can anyone tell me if it's pewter ? and What is the time frame this style
was used ?
