Unusual. I believe it is wool needlework or tapestry of an Airedale Terrier mounted to a triangular dovetail wooden stand. Inside the stand is something that is weighted, I can’t really see much without lifting the needlework. It is encased in some type of fabric, wool I believe.
The stand measures about 7 1/2” x 5 1/2” x 3 3/4”. Weighty,
The needlework is in good condition, has some age signs- some loose wool
