How big is it?
The first thing that comes to mind looking at it: possibly the handle of a hand-held mirror? Maybe even the handle of a brush.
That was my first impression....

Well, jimmyandvelda, you surely are in the wrong place to make this post, or the arrowhead post. I guess you didn't notice that this category involves precious metals. Since neither of your posts involve precious metals, I would suggest that you make your posts in the appropriate category.

ACTUALLY SINCE IT'S COVERED IN SILVER...I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A PRECIOUS METAL...WHAT WOULD YOU CLASSIFY AS "PRECIOUS METAL"

I see no silver. The shiny areas look like highlighted iron or steel (or other base metal) to me. Have you tested it for silver? You didn't mention silver to start with.
