What ever it is, it's got to be a banner find. I vote banner.

it looks like it was holding something, flute?, trumpet?, harp?

In Rome he is referred to as Faunus. But i've never seen a child version of him and he always has small horns. Interesting piece to say the least.

Missing the pan flute, hope you can find it. Wow what a great find.

Is this marked silver somewhere?

Sure looks like the decorative front to an andiron.

 

[Shambler]

It looks too pitted to be silver.
