Great question! :)There are at least two possible objects that can fit this description: an ambo and a lectern.
Why is an Ambo called an Ambo?
The term "Ambo" originates from the Greek word "ambon," which means "a raised platform" or "pulpit." In Christian liturgy, an Ambo is the designated place from which the Word of God is proclaimed, traditionally elevated to signify its importance. The use of the term reflects the historical and architectural significance of the space within a church setting, emphasizing its role in the delivery of sermons and readings.

What are the furnishings of a Catholic Church?
This is a rather involved, complicated question. As a Catholic Church could conceivably be anything from a Carthusian chapel to St. Peter's Basilica. The primary difference between a private chapel for a religious order and a public church would be the presence of a baptismal fount. Every Catholic Church should have an altar, and if it is a public place and is licensed by the local Bishop, it will have the Blessed Sacrament reserved, so that would necessitate a tabernacle and a sanctuary candle burning there. The altar should have at least two candles, and appropriate cloths to cover the top. There should be a lectern (ambo), a celebrant's chair, and an altar rail is now optional. The sanctuary must also include a Crucifix, required if Mass is celebrated there. There may be other things like a stand for incense, a credence table, etc. The nave - that is the portion outside the sanctuary where the people would be, may include pews or chairs, with kneelers. There must be Stations of the Cross appropriated blessed, there should be a confessional, a baptismal font (if it is a Church and not a chapel), holy water fonts, etc. I think that should cover the bare minimum.
When facing the altar in a Roman Catholic church the lectern on the left is for the?
Most often it is on the left. But not always. In our cathedral, it is on the right. May have misunderstood question. The AMBO, sometimes called a lectern, for the readings is on the left or right. The lectern, whether on left or right, may be used for leading singing. Songs should not be lead form the same place as the readings, except fpr the responsorial psalm which is part of the readings.
What is on an altar?
What is on the altar is dependent upon what stage of the Catholic mass it is and certain preferences by the presider/parish customs, as well as what right the Catholic church is. Normally for a Roman Catholic mass, in the entrance procession an Evangeliary, which is the book of Gospels, is placed on the altar. Later it is removed by the priest or deacon in transition to the ambo to read the gospel from it. During the presentation of the gifts, the altar servers begin to set the altar for consecration. The corporal is placed first which is the cloth to catch any fragments of Eucharist that might fall. The Sacrementary, a book which contains the prayers of consecration, aniphons and other prayers needed while the priest is behind the altar, is placed. It may be placed upon a stand if the priest prefers. Then the ciborium and patens containing unconsecrated hosts are placed on the altar. After this, empty chalices which will later be filled with wine are brought up with purifiers to whip where the congregates' lips touch it. During communion, all vessels are moved to distribute the Eucharist and the Blood to the congregation. Following communion, all vessels are returned, unconsumed hosts are placed in the Tabernacle and the priest purifies his chalice and ciborium by pouring water into both and consuming it. Everything is then removed from the altar by the altar servers and it is then bare, other then a decorating cloth perhaps.
