HEY ! thats it !

It's the forerunner of the tin-foil hat that is the forerunner of the modern aluminum foil hat... for the chronically paranoid.

Or maybe a sponge saturated with brine solution slips between the "bowl" and skull when sitting in a State chair.

I think NHBENZ is correct. Found a few of these in the Swiss and Austrian Alps.

Last picture it what makes me think so; appears it has some sort of one inch flat stock that was the mounting bracket. Chances are was fixed but the following winter the line froze and the animal knocked it off the fence post.

I'm going with it! Thank You!

 

[tamrock]

Yeah right. It's kinda like a ceramic bowl, but it's made of iron instead.
