Some weird ornate pin tap?

[Lexicon Devil]

Just kidding, but really, I have no clue what this could be. Nor how to start my search. Any leads?? Its ornate design goes all around on all sides. Dug earlier today in about 3 inches of dirt at a park.

Is either end threaded? Does it feel solid or hollow?

 

[Lexicon Devil]

Neither side is threaded, and it is solid. put it on a string and it can brain ya if swung well enough

A 'dangle' from a chandelier.

It looks like a portion of a lamp base or a portion of a floor model smoking ashtray.
Neat find

What kind of metal is it?

 

[DCMatt]

It certainly has that 'Victorian' look to it. Maybe a pipe tamper?
