I found this item in a field in Luxembourg (western Europe.) I have found items in the area dating back to the 1600s as well as everything in between. It is made out of lead. Any help on what its purpose was or what the emblem at the top is would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hey guys! Can you help determine the age of this artifact? The material is iron. This was discovered near an old mill/horse-stable. Unfortunately I cannot determine the age of the location, even the land owners don't know. Thanks guys!
