English translation:Ball shaped ornamental cap
Explanation:
This would be 丸ギボシ(ball shaped knob used as screw end or some kinds of ornamental cap) represented by Chinese characters. 擬宝珠 is the precise Kanji representation but I found there are plenty of 義星 in internet search.

agree  Marc Brunet: very good for 'ball shaped ornamental'! (not so sure about 'cap'...)

neutral  Port City: I only agree with "ball shaped". "Ornamental" makes it sound like it has no functionality apart from being good-looking. It's not a cap, either.
