This item is a question mark… it may have had a pin type fastener, an old way of fastening cloaks…. The fabric meant to slip under the spiral part of the loop, as the piece is corkscrewed to fasten it in.
That is seen is Celtic designs…
The arrow is sharp. It appears to be cut steel.
The hand tooling is my favorite part. I love the design work, and it is in line with Victorian era trends.
The original is unknown.
I haven’t found any match to this item… available on the internet.
It could be very cool Steampunk… crafting…
Collecting… jewelry making… maybe you know better what this is, and those ideas make you laugh. If so, please message me your thoughts.
