Surprisingly good shape , for being buried in the dirt , diggers !

Nice little find ... seems to be a masonic-ish design & I'm guessing that there was once a ribbon attached .

Let's see what others say !

Can you take a closer image of the tugra mark ? It will tell us the assay office. Used throughout the Middle East ( Damascus etc ).

Looks like the Eye Of Providence. So a silver religious jewel / brooch.

might also be known as  the Eye of Horus...and could be linked to Free Masonary....

Not the eye of Ra / Horus.

Probably worth a bit more above silver scrap value
