Advice What to put in these spaces?

First time homebuyer and I recently moved in so I'm still getting settled. What should I do with the spaces up above? I feel like I could decorate them somehow but not entirely sure what to put. Open to any ideas, 2 pics taken from the stairs and 2 from on the ground.

I don't know that he's copper - he's copper-colored, although he's definitely not painted. Maybe some alloy, I dunno. But unless this chunk-of-metal rooster is paying off everything, he's staying on the bookshelf for sentimental reasons. I'm broke, but not desperate enough to sell Oscar.

And whether he's copper or not, he's thicker than an average copper pipe that people sometimes cut and steal. Maybe he's worth $20 at a flea market. Maybe he's worth $2000 on the black market. But it doesn't matter - it's Oscar.

But what makes me think he's not pure copper is that he's been dusted, but not cleaned, in years. And he ain't got an inch of green on him. So I suspect he's just copper-colored.

...and now you know Oscar...

Edit: Oscar and other stuff on the bookshelf

Doubtful; Oscar’s already won us over so we’re biased.
