    Welcome Mattyf.
    Try photographing it in daylight. Take it outside, if you have to. And please check if the pictures are blurry before posting. Pretend you've never seen it before and see if you can see any detail clearly.
    You don't have to be a star photographer, but you have to give us a chance to see what it is.

    On this picture I can just about make out the head of an East Asian dragon, possibly Chinese:

    Is that a good thing to have engraved on it?do you think it has any value?

    Let's start with good photos. Then we can see the material, whether it is actually engraved (carved) as you think, or maybe cast resin, and then take it from there.
