Ornamental high heel shoe curiosity!

[Slinkyheels]

I wonder if anyone could help me out with this ceramic high heel ornament. I found it in a charity shop but I’ve no idea what it’s for. It’s not simply to look pretty on a shelf. If you look closely you’ll see there’s a hole at the front just behind the vamp. That hole snakes round to the wider opening underneath the toe box within the platform.

What could the twisting channel be for? I first thought it might be for a candle but I can’t imagine that’s right as who would want hot wax running through the front hole that would then dribble onto the shelf or table top?!

Please let me know what you think this shoe is designed to achieve.

Whats it made of? Is it heavy? How big is it(normal shoe sized)?

[Slinkyheels]

Yes I this quite heavy. It’s ceramic and it’s about half the size of a normal shoe in the smallest size.

A phone stand? charging cable goes through the hole inside and out the front? Complete guess.
