Found thid guy and trying figure out origin. Any ideas? The carving is extensive and it looks like it may have a signature underneath.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

What part of your figurine is photo #3? It looks like a woven fabric embedded in some hardened substance.
Do you know the purpose of the cord around it?

Looks like it is supposed to be his waist belt Watchsearcher. I'm not going to comment on this one, enough people mad at me for now.

Thanks Scottvez, I was backing away from saying it. I'll take the heat next time.

No problem! Funny, folks know nothing about an object until told it is modern/ fake/ repro-- and then suddenly their an expert.

Scottvez It is like you said on the last one, buy the item and not the story. I liked that statement.
