Is it a Globular, a Star Cluster or maybe a Dwarf Galaxy?

Actually it's the Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy.

Relatively bright when it comes to dwarf galaxies but considerably fainter when compared to NGCs 55 and 253 also found in Sculptor.

5 hrs L, 1 hr R, 1 hr G, 1 hr B, STXL-11002 CCD and BRC-250 scope.
