Frame for a bag opening.
Winner, 6 minutes.
It's an old timey coinpurse top!
I want one now.
Try searching for chain coin purse. Throw in vintage or antique.

nah. I want but im concentrating on needs atm.
what is a chain mail bag used for and why use it over a simple cloth/fabric bag?
oh i didn't clarify! it's a old time coin purse. I just grabbed this photo from a search.
I assume the reason it would be metal instead of cloth is durability and strength. You'd want it to be strong to hold a lot of metal coins and not break while traveling on foot/horseback.
You don't want someone to cut it off or cut the bag so your money falls out.
You monster
You sound like my therapist.
