Found this in two pieces in the hole. They each had some weird black soot or something covering them. I thought it was a fabric of some sort because I thought I seen threads. It looks like the two pieces used to be together.

Possibly the base for a pin cushion from a Victorian era "sewing bird".

It reminds me of the medical (hernia) truss pieces we’ve seen here before.
