Wow! I did not think about that! Thanks!

Bell top is my impression too. The loop has been worn right through, it appears. It must have been on an animal's harness or neck for a long time!

That's the top half to a hawk bell. (Trade bell) from Spaniards to natives. From the pictures I'd say it's 1800s late 1700s at the most.
