I am afraid that the likeness to a ship
part is purely coincidental. The ends are broken.
It was once
part of a bronze sickle. Appears to be the
part where the "blade" and "
handle" join. Though these items were more proto-money, or a store of wealth or means of transporting bronze than an actual tool.
It is quite old, likely first half of first millennia BC.
It might be high tin content bronze.
