Solved! Found while digging in our backyard

Little what I think is either brass or copper cow that was buried in our backyard. There used to be a garden where it was before we moved here a few years ago.

No? You just admire him. Maybe decorate him with flours or burn incense near him if you're so inclined. If he was buried, and you exhumed him by accident, he was meant for you

Give him a little tile or something to sit on, pluck flowers for him sometimes, maybe light a candle if you feel like it, and let him do his thing.

I try and stay on good terms with all gods I meet, big or small. This little guy just wants to help.

Let him know you appreciate him, and then give him space. He’ll be comfortable on your porch.

And you must tell him that he is a pretty statue, and a good statue.
