Its a very ornate hand made brass drawer pull, the back part. I would put the age in the late colonial/Revolutionary war period. It's extremely nice. Did you find much else with it?

Welcome to the forum! Anthony - Plazz58, and I were up on Battle Hill, in White Plains, NY, this morning and it was Hot, Wet, and Sticky!! While I'm thinking this is off a piece of furniture, I wasn't sure and asked Anthony to join the forum and post it up. Battle Hill, is the site of the Battle of White Plains, in 1776. I found two Wheats, '44 and '56, and a nickel. My shirt was soaked through in less than an hour, and my glasses were fogged over so bad I had to take them off - One of "those" mornings.

No nothing else only a couple of bottle caps and a big piece of rebar

I stayed up late last night hoping the skies would clear long enough to see comet Neowise. I was not successful. It never cleared off.

I agree, drawer pull escutcheon. As far as age, I'm thinking first half of the 1800s, but I have never dug or seen one like it, so I may be way off.

Welcome to the site from Delaware. I'd agree with the drawer pull escutcheon ID, minus the part you would actually pull.
