A INTERESTING AND WELL CARVED PIECE. THE CLOTHING WOULD ALSO LEAD ME TO SUSPECT HE WAS SPANISH AND OF SOME IMPORTANCE. DUE TO THE DETAIL IN THE CLOTHES ONE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PIN DOWN THE TIME FRAME BETTER. I AM NOT A FASHONISTA BUT PERHAPS A SEARCH OF FASHIONS IN SPAIN DURING THE PERIOD WOULD GIVE YOU A CLOSE MATCH. THE WORD YOU USE MATULUS IS OF ROMAN ORIGIN SO WOULD LIKELY POINT TO SPAIN AS WELL. GOOD LUCK
