A friend found this using a metal detector. Can't resize tonight so I'll link to the image: http://images.imaginekitty.com/Dunno.jpg Any idea what that is? | ||

Buckminster Fuller baby rattle? Igloo on a stick? The sticker on the handle is curious, did he metal detect it at a yard sale?  _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

The item represented in the thing looks like some variation of a beehive hut. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clochán  | |||

Yes, but that is clearly a Bucky Fuller geodesic dome. https://goo.gl/images/2VL1PQ Risk the consequences of honesty... | |||

Maybe... Those are usually more spherical and the rough surface finish made me think something more rustic. | |||

The Milwaukee arboretum has geodesic domes that aren’t sections of a sphere. In fact, their shape is similar to the OP object. https://www.tripsavvy.com/mitc...conservatory-2362998 Serious about crackers | |||

Unless there's a hole at the top, in which case it's just a candle holder. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

If it has a hole in the pole section my guess is it topped some sort of Guidon. The part under the igloo reminds me of this: https://www.onlinestores.com/guidon-pole-set-7ft.html | |||

Chip away the stone |
Looks to me like maybe the dome, being square lipped, rough and unfinished, is meant to be recessed into another piece. It would help to see from another angle. Maybe a towel rod or blind holder, though I don’t know why they would design it with so much metal in the wall. | |||

I suspect it's supposed to look like a beehive - a symbol of hospitality. You see them a lot in places like Colonial Williamsburg. What it is, I have no idea. _____________ "I enter a swamp as a sacred place—a sanctum sanctorum. There is the strength—the marrow of Nature." - Henry David Thoreau | |||

I concur with the beehive idea. Isn't beehive symbology used in the Mormon/LDS religion? Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||
|
The air above the din |
The beehive is also a Masonic symbol, although I've never seen one used as a pole topper in the Blue Lodge. | |||
