This is an antique Majolica Monumental Palace Urn, mold #8609 by Wilhelm Schiller and Sons in the Bohemian manner of Renaissance style. One side depicts a Roman soldier mounted on a rearing stallion fighting a bull, showing a body behind on the ground. The other side of the urn depicts a child riding an elephant, with a lion close behind and two additional Roman soldiers in helmet and armor, one holding a spear one with a sword, and another soldier behind the elephant. Wilhelm Schiller and Sons operated from 1885-1914 in Bohemia and Bavaria.  For more information on majolica and the maker, please see The Majolica International Society webpage on this maker, where an example of this piece is pictured.
