I came across this interesting piece:

An interesting piece

Now, I'm not sure it is a hood ornament, but I would like to know what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

It doesn't look like a fleur de lys... – Coyote Jan 13 '12 at 2:01

I think you may have stolen King Kahuka's tribal feather-thingy... – PeterCassetta Jan 13 '12 at 5:22
@Coyote I was trying to think of something to liken it to. It kind of looks like the top half of a fleur-de-lis, if you squint your eyes. – RedRiderX Jan 13 '12 at 12:50
LOL, ok. PeterDC seems to be right... It's a feather ornament, it doesn't look like the ones on medieval helmets so it might be one of the tribal ones. – Coyote Jan 13 '12 at 16:30

Looks like a minifigure headgear accessory, specifically a feathered headdress plume (no. 6029b):

It's appeared in a number of sets, most with pirate, castle, or western themes and sometimes as an extra part. It's sometimes packaged in a "Plume Wheel" (i.e. still in a circular runner with some cattle horns), and is typically used for islander minifigs:

Thanks for the identification. I now completely remember these from the Lego Racers game. – RedRiderX Jan 13 '12 at 12:51
