Any ideas? Found this in the same location as the silver hair pin I found a year or two back. Thanks!

what's it made of?
did you have to clean it up?
Looks a bit crude, maybe wrong

Thanks! The item is copper. I just rinsed it off because it is fragile. I was also thinking a hair barrette, but I don't see where the clip would have been.
