What is this object? Revealed

In a previous post I asked whether anyone could guess what this artifact was. The only clue I gave was that it a part of something else, it’s shape is a good clue and it’s about 2″ in height. I had a few good guesses including a bell holder but no one got it right.

Yes it was the other part of the gyroscope I found a month or so ago. The slot in the end is so you can balance the spinning gyroscope on a string.

I also have a new mystery object for you to guess at. Again, I found it while digging up the back path. It looked interesting so I put it aside. I had no idea what it was until Giovanna correctly identified it. So if you know what this object is, answers on a postcard please …
