My buddy thinks it part of the cleat. Some sort of decoration. Dont know some people are afraid to touch it.

Hello sponge,

Welcome to TNet, and thanks for showing this find of yours.

I think it might be a door knocker plate, minus the knocker... Perhaps a side view might tell more of the story.

I've seen some decorative ram's head brass plates on the corners of the legs of antique tables, I think of the "Empire" style...
