Post by: Dale on June 01, 2013, 09:10:51 AM
Hi all,
 
Any ideas of the age of this artefact, at first glance it looks Celtic, it has tooling marks all around from being made, its had a lot of contact over the years before being lost as the high points are rounded and very smooth, it sits up all tho a little wobbly the bottom is flat with what looks like a  threaded hole was this done at a later date????

Any thoughts welcome thanks

looks like a hood ornament or mascot to me ,most were rough cast
then hand finnished ,popular in the 1930-50s
