Fern Stamped Pattern

[FatFingerProductions]

Curious if anyone has a guess on this item I found in a civil war site in NC.

Very fragile. The metal is very thin, seems to taper on both ends and had a pattern stamped deep enough in the form of a fern creating embossed grooves.

I might guess a crude ring or cigar band or an earring.

Just a way out guess: shard from a powder flask, with the design being the tips of eagle wings, rather than ferns?

Great suggestion.
