Weird Unidentified Sterling Or Coin Silver Item From The Woods Today

[bookfisher]

Dug this weird item in the woods today. It measures 3 1/4" long, and it's been tested as sterling or coin silver with silver soldered copper "teeth." Any ideas what it might be would be appreciated. Thanks.

Very cool find!
What are the 'teeth' made of copper?

I've know idea what it is, but hey, silver is silver!

Yes, the "teeth" appear to be copper.

Thanks for your post. I just went to google images for "Rolling Stones Silver Tongue," and though I did see your image and some other Stones tongues, I think theres too many differences. Though thanks again for trying to ID it.

It reminds me of an antique woman's hair barette or clip. I think the "teeth" were for keeping it in the hair...Just my 2 cents..

I would venture a guess from the way the tips of that mouth look that it is only part of the original item. It may have been mounted on a base with the lower lip.

I guess I better get back there and see if I can find the other piece.

If you posted this in "What is it?" then it would be as frustrating of a post as the egg timer one.

There's a lot of handmade jewellery out the3re today, some of it pretty odd. Probably falls in that category.

If I would have found that item here, in S. Korea, I would way that it is an old old Chinese form of money, dating back several
thousand years......where and how it got its teeth, I wouldn't have the foggiest.
BUTTTTTTT, being found NOT HERE......I just look and enjoy.
Merry Christmas, THers.
