Silver item ID

[Tango Kilo]

Found this today in the woods outside of a college that dates back to 1850. The metal appears to be silver. The back appears to be brass or copper.
Hard to tell if the shape is a heart(?) or a leaf(?) Notice the bust of a female. Notice that the post is bent straight up against the back. Don't know if it is a pin, pendant, earring or a button. Maybe someone has seen something like this. If I had to guess I would say it is early 20th century. Looked forever online and could not find anything comparable. It may just be old inexpensive jewelry.

I agree with Matt. Victorian stick pin, Gibson girl style.

Looks like 1/2 of a puffed heart charm, c. 1910.

I would like to see a better picture (clearer) of the back please.

IMO it looks like a "post earring" ,,,

With the "earring back" in place.

I agree we need a better/clearer back photo to determine exactly what it is/was. The way it looks now, it could be either one of the 4 things already mentioned, brooch, pendant/charm, earring or stick pin.
