Decent size at 9 inches tall and not sure of material. Maybe some sort of cup / container of maybe just decorative. Cannot find any of the symbols this
has on it either. All ideas and opinions appreciated... Thanks to all .....

Maybe a match holder (Long wooden matches).

The depiction could be South American (Incan representation or something along those lines), or I could be way off.

We have some people on here way more smarter than me. Hopefully one of them sees this post and chimes in.

My first thought was Mayan, I never thought of match holder and that is a very good suggestion...
Thanks for your thoughts .....

The first photo reminds me of a Pope with full regalia. The rest of the designs do not support that thought.
Unsure here.

Could be. It reminds meca little of an Iron Maiden too.

unclemac and Blackfoot58 it does somewhat resemble both of your suggestions...
The only symbol I know is the cross which is equal on all sides, this is known as a Greek Cross.
I had no idea how many crosses there are until researching this, picture of Greek Cross attached.

Planter?

Russian orthodox? It’s shaped similar to a nesting doll.

DCMatt I think you nailed it..... Some times some things that are so simple and obvious get overlooked as this did to me.
I am going to mark this as solved thanks to your post....
