Looks like a little patriotic brooch or a military collar badge, Possibly cWWI era?
Could be the stags head is used to indicate a Scottish link, or to represent a specific regiment - the British Seaforth Highlanders, the Canadian Pictou Highlanders, Australian & I would imagine some other Empire / Commonwealth regiments wore the stags head as headdress badges.
From the fittings I'd think it's a military collar badge, I don't recognise it as British. Pure guess - Canadian?
