Thank you for viewing! ╰(*´︶`*)╯ This is a vintage metalwork kanzashi (hairpin) with red coral-style ornamentation. Kanzashi are traditional Japanese hair ornaments, inserted into the hair after it has been styled to hold the hairstyle in place or as decoration. They have long been used to adorn women's hair and also to functionally hold hair up. The kanzashi in the image may be brass with gold plating. In the fashion of women in the Edo period, kanzashi, kōgai (hair ornaments), and combs were used as a spice to the outfit.
