Here is a close-up of a part of an object (kind of rare and valuable and historic). It is a small part. There is a hint buried in the question about it that follows: Anyone here sharp enough to guess what it is and from what object it comes? If anyone gets it, I'll award a prize (yeah, right). Once I have a few guesses, or none, I'll post a full shot of the object. Let's have some fun and let the games begin!

Can you guess?
