Can anyone shed any light as to what these are. They are abour 20 inches long, and were left behind by our previous house owners, so are at least 25 years old..... Do they have any value...? Are they fake <a href="

Do you have a closer picture of the figure in the middle? They are surely ornamental, could be indian, probably some kind of tourist gift - no idea what these are for though. google pictures "india ceremonial spear" looks pretty similar, asking for central figure since it might be a indian god or mythical figure..

Ornamental finials like these were posted on top of metal fences and gates to dissuade people from climbing over the fence. Very in vogue for the wealthy during the Victorian Era.
