Unk Object

[nsm1978]

Found this object near an old church/Graveyard that was but in the late 1700s. Any ideas?

Maybe a decorative finial. From a fence post or grave marker?

I agree with my fellow Georgian's here. This could be a broken piece from an old grave marker of some kind. Ornate looking.

Maybe coffin hardware from late 1800s. Much of it was brass.

Any chance a door knocker. if you look by the thumb there are two ears sticking out that could have held the clacker. Just an idea.

Please post a picture of the back and sides.

Reminiscent of the sheet music clips for band instruments. Hard to say from one view/angle.
