If it had a complest circle/hole at the top, at that size it looks like a key hole cover. The sort that hangs from the top and you swing aside to insert the key.

It is a fitment that covers a 'keyhole' on an item like a chest-of-drawers etc. Go along to a local auction house and you will see many on older pieces of furniture. AJ
