This appears to be a mid-20th century glazed ceramic figurine, possibly handmade or regionally produced, featuring what looks like a bearded religious figure (possibly a depiction of God, Moses, or a monk) on the front. The reverse side of the sculpture, however, is shaped in a suggestive form, leading me to wonder whether this was intended as a novelty, a hidden dual-purpose item, or an early example of folk/outsider art. The piece was inherited through family, and may have belonged to an older aunt or great-aunt. The glaze and style suggest it could be from the 1940s–60s era. No maker’s mark found. Condition is intact with minor surface wear. Material appears to be ceramic or porcelain.
Approx. 6.5 inches tall, 1.5 inches wide at base
