it has that design all the way around it.

This is just a wild guess but could that 'star' piece be the roller on a roller bit? Like a full cheek /dog bone roller bit. I've seen them made with a copper roller.
Again just a WAG.:clsoedeyes:

I will have to look that up what is that?

Might have looked something like this. Pretty ornate and the horse owner might have been wealthy.

thanks the guy who owned the plantation was rich so it could be.
