Hmm not sure, it seems to heavy made for that. That's a better guess than what I've come up with.Cage for a ladies hair bun? Then a stick/skewer goes through it to hold it on?

It actually has two prongs inside almost like some type of buckle for what I have no idea though.Looks like a calf blab.
This was prematurely marked solved .. It is not a weaning device or a "weiner" device .. It is a trace carrier off of a horse harness.

behind that statement but I did notice it looked like some type of buckle but didn't know for what.
