Looks decidedly Indian to me but an interesting shape none the less.
I had intended to bid because of the interesting form of the head. It almost looks like it meant to be a crescent shape and was cut back to a bearded, giving it a slight 'wrongness' to it's proportions.

However I couldn't quite shake a slight unease about it and the wooden 'spike' and small size: 38 cm x 10.5 cm, eventually made me decide against bidding in the end.

Thought you peeps might enjoy seeing it.
