✅ SOLVED Lily pad & flower jewelry piece

[Bramblefind]

Is this a brooch? I can't figure out the attachment - maybe it is part of something else? Found in the yard of an early 1800s house.

Thank you!

The "lily pad" looks like a painter's palette to me. Very clever.

about how high is the flower lifted off the "lily pad"?

Very good! I almost took back the lily pad description before I posted but I went with my first impression and just let it fly

Hi Pirata - it is raised about an inch but it is flexible and could be bent from its original position.

DC Matt is right about it being a palette. Those would be paint brushes poking through the thumb hole.
Like this.

Since it has a flower and floral markings, I'm going with a lily pad brooch. Neat find Bramble Breezie
