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, 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!

I HAVE THAT EXACT HOLDER HOW OLD IS IT?

Victorian period, 1880 ISH.
