During the Victorian era and into the 20th century, travelers / hunters visiting eastern and southern Africa collected the small horns of antelopes like the dik-dik as mementos of their journeys and had them capped in gold or silver as pendants or charms. I think that's what this is, but it could also be a Charivari piece - a hunting talisman from Bavaria. Either way, it's got Cabinet of Curiosities vibes. c. 1860, 1 3/4" long, 9ct (tested) gold fancy cap.
