✅ SOLVED stirrup or handle?

[stevengugas]

Found this in the Shenandoah River by a old Indian site and ford. Might be a small stirrup or some type of handle. It is 4" wide and 2 3/4 high. It is broken off at the top on the back. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

Tub handle.

Tub, trunk handle, something of that nature but too small to put a boot in.
