Boiled egg cutter !
Made me cringe as soon as I saw it! (Disturbing 50 Shades of Grey image!)Oh my goodness, Caroln!!
I first thought it to be an ancient corn on the cob holder
But seems a more serious tool
A grabber and holder of sorts
The chain, most likely a safety chain, keeps the thing from opening clear up and piercing a hand
It'll be interesting to find out what it was designed for
Something rather soft, I'd imagine

It's decorative. Maybe some of kind of hair bun holder?

A sort of comb for flax or another plant or even wool to be woven or spun into some type of fabric or cloth.

The top one looks like a torture device. Were eggs harder to Crack in medieval times?

Nice going. A few knew what it was. I didn’t until I looked it up.
An Egg Topper Cutter, also known simply as an Egg Topper, is designed specifically for opening soft-boiled eggs with precision and ease. Soft-boiled eggs, with their gooey yolks and creamy whites, are a favorite breakfast item for many. However, cracking open the top of a soft-boiled egg without creating a mess can be a bit tricky. That’s where the Egg Topper Cutter comes to the rescue.
