No, it is part of a box or chest.  Likely Roman but not 100% sure.

Thank you; do you know where I can see an example? Is it a part of the lock perhaps?

Not part of a lock.  A reinforcement or decoration that was attached to the lid or another side.  The curved bit then went just over the side.

However, I don't know if it is Roman or much later - early modern in fact.
