I agree with Allan. Also a couple more of the ship itself.   I don't see a spritsail mast in the photo.  It sits at the extreme forward end of the bowsprit.  There's more than a few masting pieces that look like that.

if I remember correctly.

First impression.

Pieces with this shape are intended for the lower parts of the fore and main mast.
so, you should have 2 like this.
otherwise you may have one too many.

Well thanks for all the comments and the correct answer was that this piece was actually two pieces for the sprit sail. I had to cut them to length and they sized up perfectly.  Very cost effective way to manufacture two pieces in one. Thanks again for all the suggestions which clicked in eventually. Jollymillar.
