Brass Decorative Piece

I found this on a site where I've found objects ranging from Colonial to early 20th century. Both ends appear to have broken off metal. Just curious what this was a part of. Anyone know? Thanks

Looks like part of a curtain pole or bedstead....

Could it be an andiron for a fireplace.

Could have been for the top part of a tiered dessert plate?

It looks like the finial from a brass bed.

Neat find
