It features an antique white cast porcelain form with the letters BVM printed on the center of the column in gold which is either an unknown monogram or possibly a reference to the Blessed Virgin Mary / Beata Virgo Maria if it was originally manufactured as a religious display piece which I haven't been able to confirm thus far.
