  Q I came across a wood carving and have no idea what it is or what is was used for. The animal looks like the head of an elk. It's about 15 cm long (six inches). The bottom metal piece that swivels to cover the opening does not look original. There is also something missing at the top between the antlers. I appreciate if you have the time or if you know what it is. Hope you have a good day. Thanks. Read More
