Decorative Brass Item

[Ripcon]

Here's a cylindrical brass object I found at a house site that dates from the 1830s in west central Mississippi.
It's highly decorative and measures exactly 1'' in height. Any guesses?
Thanks for any help.

is it smashed on the "bottom" or made that way?

It looks like a portion of an ornate lipstick tube or tube holder.

It was made that way.

Can you show a picture of the bottom end when you get a chance? Thanks.

I think it is part of an old lipstick tube similar in design to the one here:

Thank you! I believe that’s going to be what it is.
