Button or other?

I found this item today. I looks to be a button or a pin. I got a couple of qick pics. I will have my wife take some tommorow. She is much better with the camera.

Details of item: Two swords crossing throug a horses saddle.

No matter what it is I like it, Beale.

Are the stirrups inverted with the sword through them? Can't tell by the photo.

Interesting information, Pappy...are you thinking that this button may be from the Cape on the horse?

Either that or off the leatherwork.
