What is it? I don't know. Possibly a doorstop, but it is a very lightweight casting. It has been suggested that a thin sheet of colored glass fits behind the figure, and a candle is placed behind that. An early 20th century night light. UPDATE 07/04/06 from John Dilks K2TQN - It is an old 1920's radio speaker, without the works.  A cone was attached to the ring and a coil and other things to make the speaker work were attached from the real.  May of these old speakers became door stops when new radios came out.
