This sculpture depicts St. George (Sao Jorge) in a typical style.... on a horse attacking a dragon with a spear below him. Here the dragon is a bit odd...almost looks like a winged alligator.
Dragons on Western culture have been depicted since the middle-ages....but are ancient "beings" in the East. See-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon
A museum placard indicates that the artist is Severino Silva de Souza and made from painted wood.
