Description

It is some type of silver (18k acid tested positive) and the horns acid tested as solid gold and in the 16k range on the electronic gold testing machine It is not marked anywhere that I can find I was super surpized to find out it was real gold and silver I would have never guessed I only tested it on a hunch At any rate, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to figure out what it is It weighs approx 5.190 ounces and is

approx 3" t x 2.5" w I am thinking it is really old and possibly from France I bought this and a lot of older items from an estate of mostly antiques from France and that is why I am saying it i from that region I've tried googling and searching anything that came to mind but I cannot find anything like it There is a weird twisted wire on his neck up front, maybe that is a clue to something? Any help is much appreciated TYIA
