Thanks to those who responded to my "curtain finial". I'm confident that's
what it is...now I have another object from the same deposit. It is clear
glass, and looks like a handle with two knobs on one end (like it is meant
to be inserted into something and the knobs keep it from coming out??). The
end opposite the knobs is broken.

You can see it here:

Thanks in advance for any help...
