Hi Everyone ...Not sure if this is the place to ask this question but I am looking for an identification on this object.  I have searched everything I can think of and can't find another.  It looks like it would have hung on a wall..as the back side of the base is flat 

Any help would be apprectiated 

 

Thank you in advance

With some very creative googling and help from a friend turns out it is a Dutch whale oil lamp. Awesome find. Best of luck!!!
