A vintage French ornament of a gargoyle. Used for hanging an electric bulb on a wire. They have a groove in their back for the wire and a hanging loop in their rear to hang them protruding out. This electric lamp adaptation may have been made at a later point in its life and they may have originally had an oil lamp or similar suspended on a wire.
