Just a really wild guess, it kind of looks like a fence decoration, like back in the victorian days.

As Dozer Dan said..bannister or stair railing.Possibly also a fitting for the top of an ornate wardrobe or cabinet.

I'm thinking acorn motif curtain rod finial. An old one. Lots of repros made today. Fencepost finial is a good guess too although it looks a little smaller than the ones I've seen.
