I know this forum is not for things like this, but diy is the forum with the most knowledge about "things" in general, so you are my best shot at understanding this "thing"

Looks like a burner of some type, like for a camping stove. It might be easier to identify if we would see the bit of the shaft obscured inside the hand.

This. Basically a gas burner that someone decided to put metal rods in for a design.

It's an art piece.

Could the rods be there to hold a pot above the flame?

>>660956
No. The flames can't get out of the holes with those things plugging them up.

Kinda looks like somebody had a broken burner and a broken rake.

Shot in the dark here, but it looks like the head of a tie rack

It's a heatsink for a pentium 4, the fan goes on the splayed out end.

Really wondering what the part inside the hand is, ask if they can send a photo of it. Just for the spiky part, it looks like some kind of large "keep crap out of water tube" devices.

I believe you are confusing that thing in the OP with this.
