Any ideas. I think maybe a drawer pull, part of a pitcher / tea pot etc. , some kind of funeral decoration The item centered may be an urn
Found it near an old area right next to a road that also dates back a ways.

I see why you think it may be funerary, but who knows. I do like it- cool find. May be its from a grave marker?

I'd see it as similar to these:Exceptional Hepplewhite Furniture Brasses A Pair by BeyondAntiques

Maybe a wood frame bed post cover. Goes over the hole where the rail attaching nuts are.

Close it is a furniture piece & it swivelled over a lock hole, so its a kind of lock hole cover.

I would go along with that. .. along the same lines as the oval shaped ones here.

I thought these were mostly circular, but I guess this could be right, I just have a distance memory of it in one of my many books. Can't be bothered to go through them all, so will agree with bed post cover.

Wow. That one in the middle looks exactly like it!!! Nice job.

Yeppers, I agree that it is a bed bolt cover for either Hepplewhite or Sheraton. Bed bolt covers were both round and oval.
