    I think it is older than Art Nouveau, it is too thick to be Art Nouveau period. I don't see a whiplash motif, but the knotted end of a ribbon, possibly of a sort of garland.

    This way up imo:

    Please don't disregard @Any Jewelry's post above. She may well be right.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    OR even sideways, as part of a larger tiled image???

    Yes, it would have been part of a tile tableau, or maybe even an entire tiled wall, in the Dutch tradition. Sideways is possible.
