I found this buried in my garden. Was just wondering if anybody knew anything about what it could be from or where I could go to find information. Much appreciated, thanks.

Welcome to the WikiWirral machine. Try posting the photo again.

Try that now, fantastic object I have no idea what it is but I am really interested hope you find out!

Looks like a gargoyle from either a building (eg church) or a fountain.

Has the mouth got a hole through it, if so what sort of diameter is it?

thats a fantastic find, id love that in my garden

wow scary! I want it!

is that a small horn on the top left of its head ?

looks like either a devil or the green man

Have you thought of giving it to forenzics looks pretty scary to me Have you looked for the rest of it I would of Shat myself if i`d of found that june

Liverpool museum used to offer a free service where they would look at relics and use them for archeology students as part of their studies. We took them flint tools, and a bone which turned out to be from an extict breed of prehistoric horse. They give you a detailed write up and ask if they can borrow/display the artifact if they are interested in it. Worth giving them a ring.

Wow, what a find!

Can you say whereabouts is your house (garden)? I was wondering if you are located near to anything that this could have come from, (as suggested, Church, or something) is the only reason I ask...

Wow, what a find!

As ive just been looking at the picture it looks like a devil don't know why but its just the thing on its head looks like a horn

Wow, great find!

Probably a Faun or a Satyr.

...either that or it's Billy the Kid.

Damn! I knew I should have buried husband's body deeper

Wow,that's great that!!:)

Thanks for the advice everyone! Have just got in touch with Liverpool Museum so hopefully we'll hear something soon. I'll let you know when I find out what it is.

Looks like a ancient water feature off some sort!

I wonder where the rest of him is? Maybe it was the result of a drunken night out. Modern times calls for the theft of road signs and traffic cones. Maybe in another era they stole the heads off statues for fun
