A fine and detailed English mid 17th century Bronze or iron Figural Pipe stopper of King Charles 2nd. 

This example has a nice greenish hint of natures gilding as it lost in the earth or water at some stage in its life.

There is a similar example Alastair Leslie's book  "300 years of  Tobacco Stoppers" published 2012.  Page 11, Plate 7.
