The unknown object

Sometimes we come across an object in our collection whereof were not sure what it is. Can you help us? 

This cone-shaped object is 32 cm tall and 15 cm in diameter. It is made of metal and weighs nearly 8 kg! Its pointed tip suggests it might be something used for stamping, but we aren’t sure.

If you have any idea what it might be or what it was used for, please send us your thoughts at col@museon-omniversum.nl 

And if you have the golden tip, your next visit to Museon-Omniversum is on us!
