Okay, it's Thursday, but it ain't the day. Can't leave you guys completely high and dry though, so, here's a riddle. What is depicted on the image?

Shield handle?

Well, the direction is correct at least -- the item was commonly used in warfare. But no, not a shield handle.

Pot handle?

It is not a handle of any kind.

Part of a mechanism to "draw" a crossbow?

Nope, but a warrior would never own just one of these.

Looking at it again (after others had posted a couple of my initial guesses)

It looks like it was originally constructed as a ring or a loop which has been rather distressed.

Part of a mail shirt after meeting an axe?

A sword, but yes, you are correct. It is indeed a broken link of maille.

Clipped another image. The scale is less misleading this time.
