I think that it an early Germanic crossbow fibula.

Something that belongs on this wikipage:

Though perhaps a lower catch variant.

There would be a fairly long axis pin through the hole in the head and a spring wrapped around that.

The type would be Germanic and come from tribes north of the Danube.  It could also be Germanic origin but have been used by the Sarmatians.

I will let you know if I ever find out more.

Sure not sarmatic.
Late roman imperial times (Almgren group IX) ca. 300 AD: Germanic Limes, Rhein-Weser region, Danube Limes.
Typical for the time is the high needle holder and the decoration on the back.

Thank you for response, i have little searched and tried to find picture guided by your advices.
And i think that i found something that to me look like my fibula. It is under number 201 but with different decorations, but did not have luck with google translate to find out what says for that number?
