Brass cone?

[Linney13]

I found this metal detecting and saved it because it appears to be decorative. It has some weight and is almost cone shaped. It has two rings around the base. Does anyone know what this is?

Possibly a tussie mussie. I’m no expert but it’s similar to other posts I’ve seen on here that were identified as such.

This piece looks similar to a Pattern of 1853 Enfield bayonet scabbard tip but I don't see any holes in this where it would have been attached to the leather with small brass rivets. Are there any remnants of leather inside of it?
