    He's a little Asian duck made of something other than ivory. It's painted and not old.

    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    That's a goose!
    Give me a moment to make sure which one!
    And... I just love it...

    EDIT
    It turns out that, with all the hybridization, and variation... it isn't a perfect match, but I think it's closest to being a Greylag Goose, from Eurasia and now domesticated in lots of other places.

    The face matches a shelduck too, but the feathers don't. I just wish I could read the carver's name.
