Way cool! Well, @springfld.arsenal & his contacts were on the right track from the get-go. Fiddly Bits mentions a little hook that goes around...
Could the short piece with the cylindrical bit act as a clip? Or is the cylinder attached from both sides?

Not knowing the names of all the museum shops in all the English speaking world, I can't rule out that such an obvious, simple name hasn't been...

Or darn mushroom. Could you give us an idea of size? Wondering if you would have wrapped what needed mending over & under edges, then held the...
Basia, how long is the part with the ruled marks? 1/3 of what? 1/2 of what? Fractions increase as they go away from what has to be either the...
