I am not sure what type of figurine this is. About 5 inches tall. Some said it may be an African slip shot. I have no idea what country this is from. Any information would be appreciated in finding more about this piece.
Here's a Google image search of what I think it might be, an antique, or older Whistle:

If you go through some of them there are similarities, even in the pre-Columbian clay Whistles! Good Luck, and thanks for posting! :^)
