"back yard finding"

Description

Many years ago we found this in our back yard in Old Town Alexandria when we were redoing our house back in the 1970's.  It is not light in weight.  It looks like a shot glass or a candle holder from the 1700 or 1800?? It is black but shades of brass or copper. It has never been cleaned.
