I am calling on my lowcountry sleuths to solve this one for me. What is the white floral object on the peak of the roof? A friend of mine from the upstate noticed it when she was visiting Charleston so I tracked it down myself this morning. The bottom photo shows the enlargement and it really does look like a flower. What do you think?

Its a Roof finial
It's an alien landing signaling device.
I like the owl though.
The owl was used during the victorian era for protection. They believed it protected the home from evil spirits.
Decorative one. I've never seen a flower before.
See, now this is why I like you!
Really?! I assumed it was to keep small birds from flying in. Why did I think that? Silly me.
No question. It is a NSA listening station antenna. Whisper when you are in the area.
Jack! I knew I could depend on you!
It's designed for the sole purpose of making people wonder what that is.
I thought the same thing about owls on rooftops. Interesting.
Either a quite cleverly disguised lightning rod, or a device for ET to phone home?
You might be right. If so, they won!
ET lives in the attic and had to find a signal. That's it!
This beautiful East Battery home is one of my favorites! I'm surprised the Estonian flag isn't flying - it's a private home and also serves as the Estonian Consulate in Charleston.
