Can you help ID'ing this lead thingie?

I found this thing which looks kinda like a buckle and I believe it is made of lead because of the heaviness of it. I heard that this is the place to post it if I wanna find out. Thanking you in advance, Coinshooter

Interesting looking piece, WTG!!!
Sorry, I haven't a clue as to what it would be. From the pic, it looks to be made of pewter, but I am definitely no expert...
Good luck on the ID, & Happy hunting~

It's a pendulum weight from a clock. Check the back and you may find a groove running top to bottom, where a metal rod was attached.

Well the back is heavily pitted but it appears to have had a couple of knobs or something like that on top & bottom. Also pic doesn't show but the piece is slightly radiused from top to bottom. Thanks alot or the replies I appreciate it much.
