It's a wall sconce featuring a sculpture of a winged cherub riding some kind of sea monster. It's made of some kind of glazed ceramic—not something I know much about. White and blue. There's a hand drawn rooster on the inside and what appears to be "07" (or possibly "LO") scrawled inside. A brief internet search shows that the hand drawn rooster might mean it's from the Cantagalli studio in Italy, but I don't know how to verify that. There are several spots where the glazing has worn off, most notably on the cherub's nose, and the end of the sea monster's tongue is broken off. Nonetheless, it's striking.
