I can answer: it's a tenorized treble clef. The elements to the right of 
the G clef represent a stylized tenor clef. It's an alternative to the 
more widely used octave treble clef (our "treble_8"). Its use dates from 
19th century, when it was introduced - by Ricordi editor, it seems - in 
Italian opera scores for writing tenor parts. It's still commonly used 
in contemporary editions of 19th and 20th century Italian opera: the 
tenorized treble clef has indeed became a typical element of the 
operatic scores traditional look - you can easily find it in nearly all 
editions of Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi, Puccini, and so on.

For all these reasons, I think that adding the tenorized clef (maybe as 
a variant of the treble_8 one) to LilyPond would make it even more 
complete and refined.
