Metal thing with knight on horse design /updated description w/more detail

[riverpie]

I found this metal detecting the other weekend in Springfield Tn. An old home in the city. Curious if anybody knows what it is. I don't think it's a door knocker though. It's designed on both sides. The loop doesn't appear to be broke but bent. It weighs right at 2oz. and has a bright gold color under the color you can see but it isn't magnetic. Brass, Copper Any ideas?? I'm new at this.

Thanks
Janice

A center decoration for a ceiling light fixture or pull for a light fixture.. Early 1900's?

A very rare and valuable medieval nights medal, I'm 100% sure because I saw one just like yours in a book. I will send picture if I can track book down.

A medieval knights medal in TN? You're joking right?

Sure. Lots of royalty in Memphis alone. Graceland; Elvis "the King's" home. B.B. King's Blues Club on Beale St.. Martin Luther King was shot there. Had to be some knights around with all them kings.

Just curious, do you know if they have had any Renaissance festivals in the area where it was found

This was found in my yard and have been tracking the responses to "riverpie". I independently sent a photo to the Smithsonian's National American History Museum and received a suggestion that it might be a "weight" for scales. Any thoughts?

Welcome from the UK

Doesn't look like any weight I have ever seen.

Maybe a 'pull' on the end of a toilet chain flusher

As its horse related, maybe a decorative item on a horse.

Drawer pull for furniture in the 'Medieval' style.

Basically not sure other than its not a weight. Ask them to give you a reference of the weight? I bet they don't.

Doesn't look more than 100 years old.
