I found this today about 3 inches down. It looks like it might be a game piece. It has no hole on the bottom so, I don't think it's for a flag.

pipe tamper... for smoking pipe... very old and cool at that.
that's my guess.

Size and what it is made of will help to ID it.

It reminds me of a heraldic lion crest.
Is there a pattern on the bottom? It could be a wax seal? What is it made out of?
Does it open up through the center?
Something like this?image.webp

Thanks for the replies, it's smooth on the bottom, heavy and I think it's brass.

The piece is 2" tall, 1.25" wide by 3/8" thick. I'm starting to think it might not be a tamper.
