Identify please

I’m pretty sure it’s not very old or valuable but I’m having trouble finding any other images online. I was fishing today in some fresh water bayous and lakes in South Louisiana and the water is crazy low and I saw this sticking out the water near a bank. At first I thought it could have been a large piece of Indian pottery bc I was in a area with several locations where shards can be found. But as I got closer this is what I found. Everything I see online has some type of opening or a lid. This appears the only way to get inside is the whole that was busted on the top and bottom and also has like a small hole drilled on the side at the bottom. Anyways prolly some type of decorations or something. Here are some pics

That is interesting hopefully someone can identify it, what does it seem to be made of, also how heavy is it?

It looks like a lamp body to me. Hole in the side is for the cord.

Absolutely a lamp , dug one a while back just about like it out of a trash pit. i pitched it to my wife and hollered urn ,she really got excited and i dont mean happy.

Deff looks like a lamp but maybe it was used as somebody’s anchor for a net or traps.
