Yeah, what she said.

As to it's purpose in real life, I have no idea. I just know I want to stay FAR away from anything that gnarly looking. I say re-bury the thing before some curse befalls you.

Whatever it is, let's not lose sight of the one truly important thing here:

Kill it before it crawls!

Romans often combined the Serpant with the Ram as a tribute to the gods. Lots of crazy idols back then

i belive it a ram head and the tongue is sticking out because it has been killed just a thought.dont know what its for tho

 

[countrygrammy]

as for as what i think it might be is,i belive a bolt went thur the hole and the part that looks like a leg went down in another part for a lock on a barn door or even inside a house.Just thought id add that.

I'm not sure what it is, but I think I caught a live one one day while fishing. It was so strong it pulled me and my boat nearly a mile down the lake and then went ashore on a small island. Before I could get a good look at it , it climbed a tree and flew away! That one won a liars contest one year, but I wasn't the author. Seriously,for some reason Indian comes to mind, like East Indian, not Native Averican. Some of their old gods had heads of different beasts and the elephant was one very commonly seen. Monty
