That's not a bad guess but there are no attachment points on the ends.

C'mon man, use some imagination. I know it isn't an exact match but attachment points don't HAVE to be at the ends...

Kudos for spying this similar piece while researching the "Odd Copper Sphere" thread. I thought about the alternate attachment points. Maybe it is part of a lamp. I just don't think so.
