[QUOTE="GiveMeOldJewelry, post: 2296874, member: 14757"]I bought it online, listed as a pendant, but it is far too heavy & bulky to be a pendant in my opinion. Weighs over 100 grams & even without paisley style side pieces, it measures about 5.5" wide. Someone suggested maybe a crown ornament, but I think it would probably be a bit concave, which it is not (completely flat). A cloak ornament was also suggested, but that fabric would have to be very sturdy. The filigree is attached to backing plate with tiny brads. The side pieces have needle sharp prongs, which feels like the ones found on antique belt buckles. Could this be meant to attach to a belt? Age?[/QUOTE]
