Jenny,
A colleague of mine who is into andirons thinks that what you have is a bracket, based on its size. Hope this helps.

Subject: Artifact ID: Bracket? Andiron? SW USA
Hi all,
Any help identifying the artifact found at the following link would be much appreciated:
https://sites.google.com/site/histarchcollective/bracket-andiron-from-historic-site-in-the-sw-usa
This item is an isolated surface find, without any solid archaeological context from a post-1870 historic site in the southwest US. It appears to be burned, and current thoughts were that perhaps it is a simple decorative bracket, or part of an andiron.
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Jenny
