It's a really tiny image. I thought at first, it could be the Thompson Trophy, housed at the San Diego Air and Space Museum (at least it was when I visited). But looking closer it does not match.

It looks like the handle of a WW2 bog pull.

It's a corn cob skewer. The saw tooth configuration at the top is a dead giveaway

I was wondering if it was a type of holy relic. The carved finger bone of a saint or something like that.
