What in the world? GOLD?

[relichunters]

So found this really weird thing in pieces very deep in the ground on a civil war battle site where I found a few sharps carbines.

It has a gold texture and it's heavy so I believe it's lead based. At first I thought it might be a flask, I should have dug to get the rest of it, I am stupid to quit after this much.

On the bottom it says "Made ___ ________ Japan" It's about 7 letters and I don't know what it says, and as you can see there is a symbol on it above the words that says C.K.

Also it has a pattern on all the pieces, I see wings, maybe like an eagle?

Any ideas?

Maybe Relichunters can retrieve the rest of the figure the next time out. It might be fun to put it back together like others have done on here.

I found more today, 3 more pieces, but it still isn't enough to have enough to fully ID it.

I think Indian chief head figurine made in Occupied Japan from 1945-52 is the most likely ID. The company mark is <CK>. A picture of the exact item has not been posted but IMO the ID is close enough.
