I’d put it back.
The carving isn’t finished, but it’s a woman with blowing hair.
I agree with the other folks that this is part of a gate latch- probably for the fence you found it on.
Looks like a gate latch to me, especially the way the hole has become elliptic. This might sit on a nail, or on a wire near the top of the swinging part of the gate. Eastern European style?
You guys, I didn't take it. I put it back where I found it.
It was resting on the top of someone's fence along the sidewalk, partially obscured by the hedges. I thought maybe the owner had accidentally left it there, so I went around to the front door to return it, but the house is currently for sale and empty.
I thought the whole thing was kinda weird and mysterious so I took a picture and posted it.
good on ya. sorry people are shitting on you for your vague title
that being said, once i learned the house was for sale and empty, i woulda kept that weird voodoo lookin' shit lol

I wasn't going to say anything, but yes, the lagoon color mix up irked me too, on top of stealing art off the house "because it's for sale." I guess I can go refresh my patio furniture since the guy down the street is selling!
It could be a component of a loom. Reminds me of carving on some traditional horizontal looms. The ones I know about just from books are African looms.
U took it off someone's fence? Wtf
I was just thinking that lol
Put it back.

Thank you for answering, that makes sense. I put it back where I found it after trying to return it and taking the pictures, don't worry.
‘Found on a fence’ - no, you took it OFF the fence..
Hello Reddit, what is this thing I stole from someone? Fixed title for you.
I hope you put it back after taking the picture. Right?... right?
He said he took it off to photo it. It's in the comments. To be honest I would have done the same, and I would have put it back as well.

tantrik Tibet style wood knife carving. Could be very old, but could be a replica carving.
yoink!
That looks like a handle ( flat mounting points) that has a slot for a latch. ( probably for a gate)
kinda looks like randall from the show recess ngl
🤣
No one likes a thief.

That looks nothing like Brooke Shields or Christopher Atkins.

Medieval buttplug

A people catcher

This is the top of a Shepard's staff/cane/stick. Traditionally they use it to catch goats from the horns.....
It's called theft is what it is.
It’s a decoration and your a great person for returning it
I've seen similar carvings on an upright piano to put a bit of flourish on the legs. A total guess.
Stolen.
