[Mud Hut]

Nice saves there .. That heart thing is interesting. Could it be a latch of some sort off of a trunk?

 

[Dug]

Whatsit sort of looks like a brass hinge and the two pieces of wood are legs.

 

[cmthunder]

The disc part is flush with wood on one side and it’s recessed on other side.

The wood and brass piece is the hinge from a folding ruler:
