I Haven’t Found Out What This Is...

Hey guys, I’m new here

I found this, and I’ve posted it on Friendly Metal Detecting Forums, but nobody could identify it. Can anyone tell me what this interesting item is?

Maybe an old wine bottle topper.

Bed post nut cover?

My initial thought was that it's the foil top off of a champagne bottle.

Is it rigid, or bendable?

It could be bendable, like most metals, but I don’t think this find isn’t meant to be bent.

it has a neo-classic design, which was very popular mid 19th century.

People on the other forum thought that it was a spoon bowl.
