This is what it was cropped from:

Here’s a picture of the whole box:

rusvw guessed correctly, “hmmmmm….could it be a metal clasp that holds a top of a box shut with the faintest of securities?“, as did Mel “It’s a buckle or clasp of some sort.“, rampantbicycle “Looks to me like one of those Asian – style clasps.” and racerx “An ornamental metal clasp on a wooden box…:-) Rusvw has it right“. Monique had the funniest answer for the second week in a row (sorry, Carl!): “hey, i bet that’s the buckle on your chastity belt!“. ROFLMAO!
