Looks like a pommel to me, off of what is the mystery. It could have even been a cane topper.

Is there a hole in the 'dome'?
Found in the USA? If so, what state?

Great find! Late 18th C small sword pommel.
The small sword was a fashionable weapon for the aristocracy in the last 1/4 of the 1700's.

This looks to be the type of sword your pommel came off from...
Napoleonic 1799 Model French Artillery Officer's 5 Ball Spadroon Sword
