What is this Eagle With Olive Branch and Arrows?

[Centsless Detecting]

I found this Eagle the other day and I am having troubles finding a match. It's about 4 inches across. Slightly curved and it looks like there may have been pins on the back of the wing tips. I know this symbol has been used for hundreds of years. I doubt its terribly old however.

If anyone knows what it is please let me know. I am stumped.

Thanks!

I believe that's a patriotic/sweetheart brooch of 1940s vintage. A number of companies made them in a variety of styles. This one was made by Coro and is signed on the back of the tail feathers:

Considering that the 'eagle' you found is made of thin stamped sheet brass, I'm leaning more towards Matt's theory.

Possibly could be case or mantle clock decoration, as your find looks to have some age to it.

RC and DCM have pointed out some great suggestions and I believe it's an accoutrement of sorts on a mailbox, lamp or some item directed towards the colonial revival design of the 1940s and 50s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_Revival_Movement
