Any help would be appreciated.)

I was going to say it's a faucet but wasn't sure if the Celts had faucets of this style

The dating of the Celtic ring money is uncertain. Some authorities date the use of ring money from 800 to 500 B.C., but it may have been used as late as 100 B.C.

Just a guess, and it is a bit small but could the round piece with the knobs maybe be a small mace or club head? Thoughts?

Rudely formed rings and ring-shaped or penannular bodies of bronze and other materials found among the remains of ancient peoples of Europe, and generally thought to have been used, at least in some cases, as money.
