THIS ITEM COULD EASILY BE A HANDMADE ARTISTS CLAY ANGEL FIGURINE.  IT HAS A SOFT GLAZE TO IT WHICH ALMOST LOOKS LIKE RAW CLAY.  THE PIECE HAS CARVED LINES IN IT WHICH ALSO MAKES ME FEEL LIKE HANDMADE.  IT IS A CANDLE HOLDER.  HOLLOW.  MEASURES A LITTLE OVER 7 1/4 INCHES TALL X 4 INCHES WIDE X A LITTLE OVER 3 INCHES THICK.  

THIS IS JUST AN ALL ROUND UNIQUE PIECE OF ART.  THERE IS ONE TEENY TINY CHIP ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SLEEVE.  THE SIDE WHERE THE VIOLIN IS.  HARDLY NOTICEABLE BUT I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW.  

see photos as they can tell you more about this piece that I can explain.
