Be sure to click on the image above to get a decent look.  This wood relief carving is at the Brooklyn Museum in their European collection, and the caption tells you everything they know and don't know about it:

So: a mystery, this beautiful panel.  I think it looks like a product of the Art Deco 1920's, what with the squared-off grapes at the side and they hypermuscularity of the cats. Just a guess.  What do you think?
