I believe that is for a woman's shawl, it would be missing the pin that goes through the material.

I have seen similar pieces before, it should date around the late 1800's to early 1930's.

Most were made out of silver or silver plating.

Very nice find.

I found one like that, though it was a pic. frame.

I found pieces of one with similar pattern and also thought it was part of a frame. Nice finds.
