Looking to discover what these two metal (brass?) horseshoe-shaped items are

Posted by: jroads

General Antiques and Collectibles
Medium - What is the item made out of (e.g. "silver")?: 
brass?
Distinguishing marks or signature (e.g. artist's name, silver hallmark): 
triangle patterns with three dots inside, square patterns with grid pattern inside
Date Period (Estimated date of item if known): 
unknown
Price Paid (If known): 
unknown
Size and dimensions of this item: 
5" diameter horseshoe shape, golf ball-sized octagonal balls on each end
Weight: 
1 lb, 2 lbs
Condition: 
Good
History: 
I have no history on the item. It was in a box of miscellaneous items from my partner.
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

These two metal rings are approximately 4 and 5 inches in diameter, roughly in the shape of a horseshoe, but rounded, and each end is adorned with an octagonal "ball" with alternating patterns of a triangle with three dots inside and a square with a grid pattern inside.  They appear to be possibly brass with some green tarnishing in spots. The larger of the two rings also have a series of dots on the top. The shape is not uniform and appears to be hand formed and fairly rough. The larger ring is about 2 lbs and the smaller ring is about 1 lb.

 

I'm simply curious what these items are and an approximate value, if known.
