Re: What Is It ?
Weird I know, but it looks like the porcelain/ceramic insulator off a telegraph pole. That beggars the question why??? I don't know.

That is exactly what I was thinking but I don't know why it would be so elaborate. I have a couple of those from the late 19th century but they are not a work of art like this one.

Looking at it again, it can't be 19th century, it must be 20th because the regimental insignia has a kings crown and not a queens.

Looks like 'trench art' made from something lying around-would be for an office, orderly room or mess-as posited above.
