And a beauty!  If it is ancient, you are very lucky!  I can give an educated opinion only on the cardboard background: it is modern, sorry.  George S.

The lettering looks modern. The outside decorations do have some interesting features though, so i'll have to say "not sure."

Zero chance it is ancient.  Never seen anything remotely similar in any museum, book, etc.

Possibly Victorian/Fin de siecle item, more likely modern fantasy item.
