A trading card game piece apparently. And with a crossbow, since I've started to collect crossbow pistures too. This work never ends!
But why does this crossbow has two arcs on it? It doesn't make any sense. Some modern compound crossbows (and indeed compound bows in general) have double arcs, but that is because they have the cams (working like pulleys) between the limbs of the bow. Without the cams there is no point of splitting the arc in two, it's counterintuitive and stupid. It was also never done before compound bows.
This crossbow is not a double-shooter, it has only one string, so both the arcs are attached to the same string. The string is also way too thin for a crossbow. Crossbow strings need to be thick like a bolt (a crossbow arrow).
Here are the parts of a modern compound crossbow for a reference:
