Beautiful and unique relic

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

Hey everyone,
I found this relic Sunday at the colonial bonanza site. It was found about 75 yards from the hill which produced so many colonial coins and artifacts. It has a reddish hue now from being underground for so many years. I'm not sure of the timeframe but it is absolutely beautiful. I wonder what it was attached to. It looks like a decorative piece that might have adorned maybe an old screen door or something. I wasn't going to post it but Kyle said I should. It has a grape vine and cluster on the end. Enjoy.

Chris, no idea what it was attached to or the era it is from, but that is a beautiful piece and should be posted! That could certaintly be a centerpiece in anybody's display.

Chris, That is a very nice piece! I love the detail. Could it be a Victorian wall mount oil lamp holder? See what you think. Great find!

You gotta love that relic.

Could it be end piece from a curtain rod?

Interesting piece, my first thought is a reign guide for a carriage. Looks to have some wear in the center hole of the leaf wear the leather strap fed through. Just an idea and my opinion. HH, Mike

Sorry about the rotten picture. Maybe the site will work a tad better. Notice the piece between the bracket and the lamp bowl?

I think it's beautiful too to allay any misunderstanding, but I'd sure like to see or hear how it was used. Monty
