JulioFCampos Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hello I found this at a antique shop and the owner said it could be a hood ornament (he attached it to the base). Can anyone help me to identify it? I found a similar sold at worthpoint, with the same flaming bowl, belt buckle design and hair style (https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1920s-art-deco-hood-ornament-winged-1817196488). Any idea where is it from? Thank you Julio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 woodie Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I don't think that it is a hood ornament. I think it's the top of some sort of trophy, affixed to a candle holder or some other type of base. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Roth Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Looks like either a top to a Sports Trophy, or maybe a Grave Marker ornament on a headstone/footstone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 2 hours ago, Marty Roth said: maybe a Grave Marker ornament on a headstone/footstone? Certainly could be an ornament for a headstone. I attended two hundred funerals by the time I graduated high school and sixteen thousand during a fourty-four year Funeral Director career and never saw an ornament on a footstone. Of course almost all of these were north of the 49th and I'm not conversant with y'all way down south.😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioFCampos Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) I guess a trophy. That kind of ornament It would be too expensive to be used at a tombstone. Also people here in Brazil is too superstitious to remove it. However she's fully naked on the back and the wings position seems odd for a trophy. Julio Edited June 25, 2019 by JulioFCampos New.
