In the Garden...

I've been unwell today (just a cold - typical for a teacher in the holidays!) so not going too far from the couch! Wandering around the garden for today's blip I found this upturned copper. I'm not too sure what it's original purpose was but it's a pretty cool garden ornament, now to find a place to put it... I just like the pop of colour. See the extras for a photo of the whole copper - maybe you can tell me what this was originally?
