    Hi,

    can anyone help me with the age/information about this carved bone fireplace decoration. Very interesting and a lot of detail and work has gone into it.

    Brought at a car-boot sale for 50p

    1p coin in photos for size reference

    Decorated for Christmas, so seasonal ornament? As komo said, we need all sides, in focus.

    Hooks might be for stockings. Might originally have had knitted ones or some such.

    I took the knobs for (rather large) light bulbs.
