Maybe trunk ornament??

 

[jimzz977]

Or park of a ribbon or medal??

 

[DCMatt]

Are there any places that are broken or show breakage on the piece?

It reminds me of half of the 'mouth' of a Victorian era coin/change purse.

It is part of a suspenders-strap buckle. Didn't anybody here notice how small the holes at the ends are? They are waaay too tiny for a drawwer-handle.
