Looks interesting - how big is it and what's the back like?

And is the top bit separate with the rest dangling from it?

having held it myself today  i would say about 2-2.25 inches in length and 1-1.5 inches across....the front side has the same decoration as the reverse....the top reverse as shown resembles a clasp but no pin present....hopefully Steve can give a more precise measurement and detailed description when he comes online

I believe it's a 17th century dress fastener, like this:
