This came up as a suggested thing on Facebook of all places. It's a bronze-painted model of a Miranda with extra nacelles on the upper rollbar. Comes with supposed authenticating documents saying it was a background display piece in TNG. I'll be damned if I can think of where it might've been used, though.

Those certificates look utterly rubbish. The text has obviously been put in with an editor, it’s plainly not a scanned document. And the image on of the model on one of the certificates is identical - angles, shadows - to the sole picture of the model itself.
The only interesting thing about it are those two protuberances from the superstructure either side of the bridge, which I don’t think I’ve seen anywhere before and might help identify the source of the (probably post-TNG) model used to mock up this alleged “filming model.”

The references to the auction seem to be legit at least: https://entertainment.ha.com/itm/movie-tv-memorabilia/props/federation-starship-model-prop-from-from-star-trek-the-next-generation-paramount-tv-1987-/a/7269-89554.s?ic4=GalleryView -Thumbnail-071515
I'll ask Jörg if he has an inkling.

Wait, we got an answer from the link Spike tossed down!
Created by production for set decoration but never used

This model has actually been around for some time. I have many photos of it. Didn’t know someone was trying to pawn it off on eBay though.
Shik: It couldn’t have been used in TNG, because the Reliant AMT model kit wasn’t produced until after TNG ended. It was probably meant for set decoration in DS9.
Lee: What protuberances are you talking about?

I think I said TNG because that's what the seller posted.
