    I obviously haven't seen enough vintage SNL.

    Doesn't look like soapstone to me but more pictures may change that opinion.

    Thank you.
    I found it in a charity shop, so no info I am afraid.
    Signature on base looks like ‘RMUOAR’.
    The white ‘bruises’ made me think it is soapstone?
    Weight - 1.2Kg
    Length - 19cm
    Height - 10cm
    Thank you.

    I'm guessing you're in the UK?:)
    That's what it looks like to me too.

    He reminds me of an Australian Aborigine, but I can't place the pot he is holding in that context.
