It looks like a thin walled pipe came in from the front and was sealed to
it.

Thanks





Just a WAG here, but it looks like part of a fountain, or maybe the
ornamental trim from the drain porthole coming off a flat roof. If
somebody had a pipe mudded into the front, maybe they were trying to get
the roof to drain away from the wall, so it wouldn't stain the
brick/stucco or whatever. Backside looks awful clean for an item that
was ever actually used, though. Did previous owner maybe work at a
decorative concrete company or something like that? My gut says it got
dragged home for a project that didn't work out.
