Reminds me of something from Alice in Wonderland.

I no it's tiny it's head is hollow also very interesting

 

[Ceredox]

is the tube leading off the head hollow? Could it be the end to a pipe or something? What is it made of?

 

[jonboy]

it's made out of copper I believe, and yes the head is hollow. It looks like it used to be on a chain but the loop broke, I think it has something to do with a pipe
