✅ SOLVED No idea what this brass piece could have been part of...

Found in an area used for generations of logging. Harness fancy piece? It appears to have wood inside, and some detailing on the bottom. Looks like it's broken off.

It looks a lot like the metal end of a leather belt.

looks like the bottom half of a match safe to me

The wood inside definitely could be wooden matches.

Yeah I'd go with match safe also.

Thanks everyone. The detailed ridges on the bottom were probably for striking.
