🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Tag with a triangle of triangles - what does the pattern represent?

[invent4hir]

Found this tag that measures about 2 1/4" by 1 1/4" near a home built about 1830 and inhabited ever since. There isn't a maker's or any other marks. It appears to be plated - but - it has either worn off or thin in some areas. On one side is a triangle made of 10 smaller triangles. The bottom 9 triangles appear to be blue so thought maybe the paint came off the top one. Did a Google image search and the closest thing I found that had the same pattern is a Tiffany & Co. pendant. Note the top triangle is unique from the others. Does anyone know what the pattern represents?

cw0909, a BIG thanks I'll definitely look into that.

I also found a pendant "Canary Pintadera Pyramid" described as Canarian Pintadera "Pyramid of triangles". They are named after a certain symbology used by the aborigines of the Canary Islands, the ancient Guanche population. They established these symbols to differentiate family clans and thus mark their properties.
