What would this have been used for ?

Hi,
During renovations of an old home my friend found this. It's made up of several strips of copper. I imagine it is a homemade tool but a tool for what ?

 

Amazon Forum Fav 👍

Treasure of Victoria Peak - Grab it through Amazon!

Well... isn't that an "oddball"...

First guess from the hip would be part of a chatelaine.

A fan perhaps ?

Well, since it has 8 holes, a vision test instrument for an optometrist specializing in spiders?

What a weird find.
Let us know if you ever figure it out...

a backscratcher?

I think AARC may have got it.
Google search, medieval or renaissance peacock feather fans with handles.
