    Chinese, I think. Character is holding a ruyi: A ruyi is a Chinese curved decorative object that serves as either a ceremonial scepter in Chinese Buddhism or a talisman symbolizing power and good fortune in Chinese folklore. The "ruyi" image frequently appears as a motif in Asian art. (Wikipedia) Age? Somewhere in 20th c. :D

    Is it one of the gods? Shou, Fu and lu? They usually come in sets of three.
