  6. I'm leaning towards what CherryPie said -- a candleholder!

    Regarding the cheese, the secret's out -- I am absolutely mad for cheese. In another life I must have been a mouse ;-)

  7. Not that, Anne, but an imaginative guess. Trubes, Cherie, Betty, Rowena: I see what you mean but not for candles. Good guess, Ellee, but no.

    ANSWER: It is part of a traditional, decorated Sicilian cart. This sort of ironwork was found over the axle.
