Featured HELP! Thrift find - big, cast iron piece - looks like a Menorah? Gas candles? Fireplace/heater?

I saw this today & had to have it because I couldn't figure out what it was! My first thought was a Jewish Menorah (but 1 candle holder should be taller than others, right?), then I thought something spanish families could put their statues in, in their front yard & then I thought something for the fireplace?
But when I got it home my girlfriend immediately said it was a old gas heater?
It does have a tube that looks like gas could be pumped into it - but those little candle like flames wouldn't warm very much, right? BUT, there is a dragonfly in the top of the front of it that makes me think art deco/art nouveau - could this be that old?
Maybe a Christmas display piece?
Google image didn't show anything similar either.
Can anyone tell what this is/was?

As always I thank you and I appreciate all the help here!

 

If you look at the 4th & 5th photos you will see it's cracked, but it goes back together perfectly. What is best way to repair it? Liquid Steel?

 

JB WELD works prettygood on cast iron.

 

Thank You! Of this turns out to be worth something I will try this for sure; thank you again!

 

Interesting piece. How big is it?

It might be a type of gas "radiant heater", similar to these (but yours may be missing some parts):

About 2 ft tall give or take - I can't find my measuring tape & guess I'm going to have to buy a new one (didn't realize how much I used it till I couldn't find it these last few days)

 

I love the little Disney face on the bottom!

 

It had a mirror that goes in space behind the "candle" shaped pieces - would a radiant heater have that?

 

Not even remotely like a menorah…

 

Yes I know - but at first glance standing above it and seeing the candle like projections + the 'roof' that looks like how Cubans display (and protect) their Madonna's, Jesus's etc - it did make me think for a moment that it could be a menorah.

 

A lovely piece of Art Nouveau. I think the "candleholders" held ceramic bars or the like. It may have been electric.

 

I wonder whether the mirror was meant to reflect light somehow? Maybe there were shades coming out of the "candle" areas, and emitted light?

Very unusual -- I love the dragonfly design!
