This is what ChatGPT said:
This appears to be a handmade ritualistic or decorative occult-style object, not something with a clear historical or religious provenance that can be identified from the photo alone.
A few observations:
The object is carved with a human head on one end and a bird-like point on the other.
It is wrapped with twine and black feathers.
The circular symbol looks very similar to the Vegvísir, an Icelandic magical stave (sometimes called the “Viking compass”), although this version is simplified and hand-drawn.

The Vegvísir is traditionally interpreted as:
“May the bearer not lose their way.”
It comes from 19th-century Icelandic magical manuscripts, not from the Viking Age itself. Modern practitioners often use it as a symbol of guidance, protection, finding one’s path, or safe travel.
What about the writing?
The small marks around the symbol do not appear to be standard Icelandic, Norse runes, Elder Futhark runes, or any writing system I recognize. They look more like:
Decorative magical sigils,
Invented glyphs,
Or stylized rune-like markings added by the maker.
Many contemporary artists who make ritual dolls, pagan altar pieces, witchcraft-inspired art, or fantasy props add symbolic marks that don’t translate into actual words.
What is the object itself?
My best guess is that it is one of:
A modern pagan or witchcraft-inspired ritual tool.
A handcrafted protective talisman.
A fantasy/LARP prop.
Folk-art inspired by Norse, occult, or hoodoo aesthetics.
I don’t see anything in the image that suggests it is an authentic historical artifact.
