Erotic (not sure how else to describe it) piece found

My son found what appears to be an old piece of brass or copper (molded) of a "wedding night" between a man and a woman. Did not want to post a pic (it is not that bad) due to the possibility of offending someone. The piece is approximately 4" L X 3" H. It was definitely poured in a mold of sorts and by appearance looks to be quite old. Not sure where to look for help---this is definitely a new twist in my metal detecting adventures. Any suggestions? If someone wants to take a look at it I would be happy to pm them a picture--or point me in the right direction. Thanks P.S. This came from a home circa. 1910--but 150 ft. away is the original homestead circa. 1790

Posting pic tomorrow--had to have my son help me --not to literate on posting pictures--thanks for your patience
After all the input I have decided to take a few pics and post them. I do not feel that anyone should be offended---after all it is just art--right? I only used soap and water to clean it off--the green patina is still on and hopefully the picture will do it justice. Thank You for your help--give me a day or two to do this

That is very unique, old and unusual. It has value. Do not clean it other than with water. Look carefully for markings on the back is the best chance to give us something to Google.

We need a pic of the back to look for possible attachment points.

Similar items like pipetampers from circa 1770-1820 had images like this :thumbsup:

Yes, please do what BCH has requested, plus let us know if any of the areas are broken-off. Breezie
