It reminds me about a top toy. You can see one in this URL:

Hello Saami and thanks for your comment. Indeed it looks like a top toy, but it is actually a very straight forward top of the Ethiopian clay coffee pot. I suppose this is the one thing you easily lose in a household so you can easily buy a replacement in the market!

Greetings!
