    Hi again, sorry to come back for help again so soon but I am totally stumped on this item and would love to hear your thoughts.

    I guess it has some sort of ritual purpose. It looks a bit like a hair stick but far too large? Or maybe just an unusually shaped ornament? I have 2 and they came as a pair

    Generally speaking, uncluttered backgrounds work best when showing an item you're asking about.....helps US focus!!:happy::happy:
