Need some help identifying this shield.

I found this at Pound the Ground in Chazy NY. Its the same on both sides and very thin. Thanks for any help!

Here’s the other side.

It looks like the remains of a Victorian era padlock locket.

Is there a hinge on one edge?

Lock plate possible?

I'm thinking a Diary lock or book lock.

Neat find

I agree with DCMatt. Looks like a locket to me

Thanks for the input. I’m not seeing any kind of hinge and it is as thin as a piece of paper on both sides maybe a little thicker. I will try to get a side picture at lunch.
