Something from field. Medieval?

[Aquila]

Found this from field today. I think this might be old but I have no idea what it is. Maybe some kind of buckle? Any experts?

Interesting find Aquila. I thought someone would have chipped in before now

A couple of my WAG's - it reminds me of a handle off a tile or glass cutter wheel - or the rowel holder on a spur

Is there a pin evident that might have run through the split at either end?

just a wild guess, what about a nail puller for horse shoes. kinda like a shoeing tool

sculptures tool ? nah!

 

[trikikiwi]

Having just had a closer look, it appears to be an object - a wheel ? - centred in each end; it needs a better wash with water.

Aha! Great idea! cloth or maybe a leather working tool.

the part of a shoe or belt buckle the goes into the hole/notch in the leather?

kinda looks like a mortar striking tool for the joint in between the brick

part of a loom or weaving machine?

I have something very similar that I always wondered about also. I assumed mine to be part of a spur but it is on the small side to be considered one. Mine has alot more to it and maybe we can figure it out. I'll see if I can get a photo up later....

After finding mine I realize it is a little different. Here it is:

scratcher, that sure looks like a spur. I can't really judge the size - could it have been a child's spur?

It's possible for sure. What is strange is how it tapers out towards where it would be attached. It is pretty thin. How would this have been attached?
