Neat piece. The only thing I can think of is off the top of a folding privacy screen, but that's just a guess.

I think it looks like the top of a buffet or sideboard. Are there dowels or peg holes in the bottom of it ?

Would sit on top of the buffet like this as an example.

I agree with Organicseekers.

When I first say it I thought head dress for a grandfather clock, like Organicseekers say it is a topper of sorts.
