I think that some of these tags can be deactivated, and then the clerks just don't bother to remove them.
I think it is a miniature cannon, with or without trunnions, possibly reproducing a type from Asia/India/Islamic region. The small protrusion near...
From the back it looks like a rag rug (woven with strips of cloth rather than yarn), and it might be called a shag/shaggy rag rug. The blue thing...
It might be helpful to see a better view of the decoration on the middle portion of the barrel.
I don't know what the stone is, but this scarab appears to be the same material: [ATTACH] https://www.ebay.com/itm/323983742476
