[covert0916]

Need help to identify this 2 1/2 pound bronze object. I have no idea what it is. To heavy for a bracelet. Has a beautiful deep rich patina. Appears to be very old. Has a design as you can see. Other than that I am completely stumped. But I do know it is just a cool piece. The weight is what is impressive again it is 2 1/2 pounds! Interested in anyones thoughts. Cheers zac

looks like a large door knocker, only a guess

Looks like a handle from a large urn or planter.

Looks like a manilla money bracelet. A really big one.

It's a pendulum weight for a longitude clock.



No it isn't. I'm totally making that up!
(Longitude clocks don't use pendulums.)

It's pretty cool though, whatever it is.
