Does anybody know what the heck this is?

Maybe a fancy old milk strainer? Put the strainer/filter inside the cone and pour your milk through it into a container sitting on the base. I have no idea what that 'wing' on the back of the thing is. Is the metal magnetic?

Looks like things I used to see in Europe in the grave yards to hold candles, flowers and a picture.

That's it. Top "funnel" to hold bouquets of dry flowers, flat base to set a potted plant and the "plague" to post a picture, etc of the diceased.

FINALLY....an explanation that makes sense....!!! And yes, Jinman, the metal is magnetic but no markings or codes at all.

Man! I hope you meant plaque instead of plague.

And I hope he meant "deceased" instead of "diceased" (diseased?)
