Perch deterrent perhaps, but for birds rather than people? The ones I recall seeing around here were spikier, though. Some odd creative method of avoiding snow and sleet developing into thick sheets of ice on the slope? The shapes bring to mind grappling hooks and fish hooks as well, but then I may be thinking this because of their location/placement, and perhaps they actually look more like organic or floral inspired votive candle holders. How incidentally convenient for a bit of Christmas garlanding. Vera No idea, really, but my curiosity is piqued so I’ll toss in my first impressions.
