Silver/Brass unknown object

I found this silver/ brass object in same area I have found 1700’s stuff. I Thought it might be part of a buckle or saddle related. I pounded area but no success finding the rest of it. Any ideas? Thanks

My guess is definitely maybe part of horse tac. Nice other stuff too.

The ridge on the bottom of the brass piece; is there a hole or half of a hole where the break is? If so I would suggest that it's a fragment of a very interesting Georgian shoe buckle. I've dug several fragments with similar raised ridges and the break usually occurs at the hole since it's a relatively weak spot.

Interesting piece. Can you provide a side view?
