Description
I exhumed this in my shed this week. (I live in a historic district.) It's heavy, and 21" long. It appears to be made from Iron. It looks very old. The head is shaped like rams horns. All of this item is one piece. From the head down is just a fairly straight rod. It's circumference and width is about the size of a finger. However it has four flat sides-- square shaped design (4-edges), in other words. The point of the rod is blunt. It's a rather intricate work of art. Maybe 'Folk Art'? I can't find anything that resembles this online. Thank you for taking a look.
