Are you thinking there is a flag on the left hand pole??  If you are I reckon it's just leaves on the branch!

The word I was looking for is Finial, which is an Architectural adornment. As the last to attempt the answer do you want to pick the next one????

The flag pole people don't seem to know that but Wiki confirmed that it is a finial.  Learn something new everyday!  Thanks Dave! (btw I thought finials looked like these on this building! lol
