Need help identifying strange bullet

(1/1)

cherdman51:
Found this weird bullet at my civil war site. It has an hourglass shape to it with a conical base with 4 indentations in a cross pattern. It is around .52 caliber. Is it some weird early bullet design or is it possibly trench art?

emike123:
It doesn't look like any Civil War bullet I've seen.  Closer to a cartridge box finial but not really that even.  Maybe wash it in soap and water some?

CarlS:
I would guess a carved bullet.
