Mike, great photo, how did you arrive at a wolf???
Very strange piece all the same, will be interesting to see if others have
found something similar.

I am told that it may have some religious connections and that the cone was possibly a reservoir for oil in which a wick would be lit. It's off to the FLO next week and if I get anything more positive I will post it here.

Just to set the record straight I have now discovered that this is a Medieval candle holder dating from the 14th century and would have graced a Church or other fine building. It is missing it's base which would have been circular. It is a dog (not a wolf) and I am informed that it is a very rare find.
