Not a statue.
Not something you wear.
It is normally found inside the house.
Parts of it could be metal. Although a very small %.

Is this decorative item related to a particular season/event?

As in, can this decorative item be used all year round, or would you only get it out for a certain time of year?

Nope, no star.
Not related to a particular event. Its normally not used for anything. Its a all year long item.
Not a picture or frame.

Its pretty noticeable. Hard to miss.

I was actually thinking of one of those aquariums for people who own lizards as pets, but I guess they're the same as the ones used with water for fish. :`

Okay, my item;

It's commonly, but wrongly associated with France; and most of us have probably had this item before at some point in our lives.

Yes, something you eat.

Although not the obvious one you might be thinking of; the shape of this item is (supposedly) derived from Islam, but it was created in a predominantly Catholic country (not France, though it is associated with it).

Quote: "yvon"​Croissants..?
​Yes, a pastry; and yes, croissants!

Supposedly derived from the kipfel, a viennoiserie that was also supposedly created to celebrate the defeat of the Ottomans at the 1683 Siege of Vienna in the Great Turkish War (1683-99). Key word supposedly, because we don't know for sure.

​It was not really devolped by man completely: it already existed and then man saw the possibilities and
gradually made it more usefull. Sorry for my poor farmers-english, but by the time the answer is there
you will understand and I hope you will be able to laugh....

​No, a clock is not really alive.
And why would a businessman like to sell clocks over other things?

Maybe I made the thing to difficult or the valued fellowcoincollectors think in the wrong direction.
I will give a hint here; it has nothing to do with numismatics, but with some fantasy, it has a small
connection with filamatics (If I wrote it right, I mean the poststampcollecting)

​Yes, you are right. To be more specific a homing-pigeon. I do not know if that is the exact translation, but
what I had in my mind was: (in Dutch) 'postduif'.

Yes, it is used in pool/billiards games, although I’ve seen it mostly in snooker.
Not a chalk.
Not a triangle.
Not a score keeping device.

Not a bridge or any other type of extension.
Not the table.
Hint: this item is mainly used by the referee.

What about a position marker? (Just place the marker behind the ball whilst in play and clean away any dust or dirt)
The only other thing a referee uses is white gloves.
