    Hi again. I have no aspirations that this is a Pre-Columbian artifact, but maybe you can lead me in the right direction for where it came from.

    3 legs, not enough wear on the 'feet' to be truly old, perhaps a monkey face? Stands 5.5" (14cm) tall

    Thank you!

    Possibly Costa Rica. The glossy finish or glaze means it is later, not pre-Columbian.
