This is a long shot, but I’m hoping someone can help ID this saddle shaped object I found while hunting a curb strip today in front of late 1800s/early 1900s homes. The etching is simple but elegant, and strongly hints that it’s from the same time frame. Best I can come up with is maybe a saddle from some sort of horseback toy? The underside has a small fold along each edge as though it used to clip onto something. The look, feel, and weight are consistent with brass, and rang up on the Equinox as 19-20 on the VDI which can also mean brass. But the bright gold color that’s prominent within the hollow of each dot suggests it may actually have been gilded?
Any ideas appreciated!!
