This is an interesting item, it is made of spelter, well made, hollow and quite large. It looks like a nodding head dog, however it would be huge. From the back of his head to the tip of the nose is 4 inches, top of head to collar is 3 inches. Any help would be enjoyed immensely. Found in a small shop, and the lady had no clue as to what it was or could be.
I am wondering if it is from an old carnival game that when you threw the bean bag / ball through the hole the dog's head nodded, and dropped a prize. It is hard to say though.
What say yall?

A head from a Canine Knome Bobble Head. LOL
Just a guess. Maybe a piece from an outdoor ornament and the head bobbed with the wind. Would look nice sitting on a porch.
