Ave!

Copper alloy; 33mm / 10.8gm

Engraved with six perfectly placed pellets within a floral-like wreath.

Most likely this was attached to a leather belt or strap of some sort.
Roman, Byzantine or later?

No clue. Help!

Most bread stamps have very deeply cut designs.

To me the design looks late medieval or early modern.

Could be a large button - coat or woman's dress??  Or horse harness stud???

A large button makes sense to me.  8)
