Found this a couple of days at an old park. It looks like it might have been used for joining leather items together, possibly for a saddle or the reins. Probably bronze from the look and conductivity. Weighs 10 grams. Any ideas?

I have no idea why but I'm thinking of two things:
1. Part of a small handle
2. Decorative peace of some sort.

Maybe someone else can tell for sure.

I think this is a decoration for something leather, could also be for wood, the nail parts seem quite thick.
