I'm not sure what this is

I'm not sure what this is, so I'm hoping someone on here can tell me. Thanks for any help. :hello:

What's the other side look like? It's almost buckle like.

Some kind of concho. Size? Weight?

I would guess the top to an inscence burner? Many (most?) are brass, as this appears to be, with openings of widely varied design.

I'm sorry I don't have a scale at this time. It is 2 7/8 inches long and 2 1/4 inches wide. The back is concave. It does appear to be brass.

I agree with mrs. oroblanco..........pretty sure it's a concho. Because of it's size it probably came off a saddle or other horse tack.

Never mind my earlier guess... I agree with Mrs.O, concho; Brass-ornamental-stampings-catalog-page46

Thank you so much. I thought it had something to do with a saddle. When I binged Civil war Conchos I found this picture.

Thanks again everyone for your input. I did have a feeling that it had to do with horse tack, but for some reason just couldn't put my finger on it.
