Hood ornament? Finial?

I found this on a hillside near an early 1800's lumbar / tile mill.

Parlor stove top finial

I’d have to agree with HuntinDog.

Do you think it's old?

Maybe a chandelier hanging loop. The style is art deco. I'd guess 1930's.

Nice piece. I can't decide whether it was for topping or hanging...
1930s seems about right but don't quote me.
