Is it wood? Stone? Iron? Brass?

How tall is it?

Interesting piece... besides the obvious (a figure of a man), no idea...

It's made of metal. Not sure what kind. There's no rust on it.

a fertility fetish figurine?

Looks like it once held a cane or staff. enabling it to stand.

Good call... maybe it's a broken cane of staff?

I Thought about a cane also. I'm gonna keep lookin to find out what it could be. It's kinda neat looking though.

If it held a cane or a staff, the fertility 'thing' is obviously out the window.

PS, Sniper; if you want input, we want input. Give us a story.

Okay, PLEASE elucidate.

PS: "Found in the woods" is a lot different than "found at the Salvation Army". People spend their time helping people with their IDs and context is helpful. Help us help you. Why is that tasteless?

 

[sniper19612003]

Forget It! I ask for some info and what do I get? A person who has to act like a Know It All. Thanks for nothin!

I was going to say the hat style on the figure looks eastern orthodox. But never mind.
