They were made in pairs, each a mirror image of the other, with a D Ring back loop. 1 is slipped onto each end of the browband (the strap going across the horse's forehead) and then pushed back against the cheek straps, tightening the browband against the cheeks pieces to prevent slipping. Matched pairs are extremely hard to find. Bridle buttons can be repurposed as brooches or made into other jewelry pieces.
