Don't know what it is, but I'll bet the hole in the bottom is the clue to what it was.

Cool find!

I agree definitely, since I doesn't hang, it seems more like a topper to something. MDLAND's suggestion I think is right on...

Here are some similar looking skewers. I couldn't find an exact match, but I've found utensils in this area of my lawn before, so probably a pic nic spot for the previous owners. I think it's probably modern, but hard to say for sure.

Great find!

Looks like a Minotaur or something... definitely creepy.

After looking through the internet, there was an ancient pagan god Moloch who was the god of children sacrifice. Looks similar.

Ok, now I'm sure I will have some explaining to do with my HR department when they see what I've been searching on my company computer... good luck!

I agree, definitely creepy. Knowing that it might have just been an ugly BBQ skewer topper will help me sleep a bit better, rather than some Moloch god token being in my yard! :wow:

I wouldnt eat a Shish Kabob off that Moloch skewer handle! Unless I was a baby cannibal I suppose...Its just flat out too creepy beyond words!

Damn! that find of yours gives me the heebie jeebies! Awesome!

Is the hole in the bottom threaded ?

My guess, a broken letter opener.

My guess is Scottie Pippen memorabilia ? :?:

This will be an interesting one to watch and see if you find anything out... :popcorn:

I was thinking maybe it's part of a door knocker?

Haha, wait a minute, didn't you post about eating a road kill turkey once? You draw the line at creepy skewers I guess haha.

It is not. It's ovalish, like the shape of flatter metal would fit into it, like the letter opener or kabob skewer suggestions, if that makes sense.

I think I found him!!! Or something really close. This one is a "vintage wusthof trident Rostfrie skewer" and he looks almost as creepy....

I know. not it but I am looking.......

That is really close! Yours is a bit different and bit creepier IMHO.

Good job. Wonder how old it is.

Wow didn't know there was so many uses for a brass bull . This one definitely has a wierd man look to it . Leaning towards some idol thing .

Thanks, all good directions to search in!

Not sure on the age, it was only about 2 inches down and I'm leaning towards something newer that previous owners dropped (house was built in the 1990s).

I'm hoping it's just some shoddy artwork and not intentionally creepy :?:

Yes, I second that. It was my first impression, often letter openers have brass tops and wooden blades
