Bump
Have I got this wrong, are there no examples of Indo Persian parade /ceremonial brass spearheads (or perhaps a flag/banner finial) with which I can compare this one to ?
The socket size is too large for a curtain rod finial
... I hope
In the close up photo ..the 'cut out' sections could easily be representations of eyes and a nose, there area below the nose has a 'feline jaw' look about it ...with whiskers ......a tiger ?
Has anyone any ideas..... good ...or bad
