Looks to me like a mediaeval strap end, used to prevent clothing and legging straps and thongs from fraying or curling, and to add weight such that they hung attractively. There are a myriad of different forms but, if you Google the term, you may find similar examples.

Maybe half of a cloak fastener. Although it is a bit small... For a child's cloak?

These are replicas but you get the idea.
