sterling, what is it

looks like the top of a walking cane??

On the lower photo I see what looks to be one half of a hinge.It's on the upper left edge.I'm guessing there was a lid on a container.Maybe it held a cosmetic substance? Check the price of silver,it's very high now!

I think it a detail of clothes for example a button or a cuff link

It would help when people ask for help that they give an indication of size.  Can't say if it's a compact or what.  So I'm guessing it is maybe the size of a half dollar.

In theory, it could be on the face of something, such as a cane, if it was a status item, particulary when there's what's possibly a logo.  Like a contemporary Gucci item, if you will.

On the other hand, the lack of lip and the hinges suggests it was the bottom, or female side, of something.

Hm.  Lip gloss?
