This appears to be an ancient bronze or copper fibula (a type of decorative fastener or brooch) that has developed a green patina over time. The object has a distinctive D-shape with a curved top portion and a straight pin at the bottom. One end features a coiled spiral while the other end has what appears to be a catch plate to secure the pin. The surface shows signs of age with a mottled green verdigris patination typical of ancient bronze artifacts. There are some decorative ridged bands visible on the curved portion. This type of fastener was commonly used in ancient times to secure clothing, similar to how we use safety pins today. Based on its style, it likely dates from the Bronze Age or early Iron Age.
