I found an interesting statuelike object. Prepared from bronze. Below screw-thread visible, a hanger sits up and on his back side rivet. What kind of function may have been?

It may have been on top of some kind of trophy at one time.
 
Only thing comes to mind is possibly a "cork screw"? Neat looking, what ever it is...
Good luck on the ID, & Happy hunting~
 
Cool Beans, it is interesting for a fact, my best guess is the broken off part of a pendent.
 
the hole on top looks like it was made to hang like a christmas tree ornament. the bottom looks like it went into a wooden pallet that could hold a candle behind the ornament to backlight it. the back looks like it has a wing like an angel which is a popular christmas ornament.

the ring is cool too.
 
I would guess a 13-14th century figure of a Saint. Function :icon_scratch:
