Nice find! A device from a shield, scabbard or armor? Does it  have tin or solder or other means of attachment on the back?

My first reaction was that the eagle is the handle of a letter opener. It looks to be cast bronze rather than hammered bronze. Probably early 20th century or late 19th century.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
