    Posted a bit back on the finds
    Suggestions were Vietnamese or south Asia
    It needs cleaned up but seems like a pretty neat carving
    I have not found any other information from the attached tag
    I don't trust the "market" these days to just put it up low so any suggestions or ideas what the plaque may indicate/info
    Its about 12 inches high
    Thanks for any help

    Because of his bravery, perseverance, strength and devoted service, Hanuman is regarded as a perfect symbol of selflessness and loyalty. Worship of Hanuman helps the individual to counter the bad karma borne out of selfish action, and grants the believer fortitude and strength in his or her own trials during the journey of life. Hanuman is also invoked in fights against sorcery and protective amulets depicting him are extremely popular among his devotees. :p Thanks Af

    Not Hanuman, who has a monkey's head and tail but a human body, and is always shown wearing a sort of crown.

    Thanks 6rivets! I was looking and the face is a little similar to some images I saw for Hanuman but I do see what you mean, all I saw had crowns
    This one is odd or stylized, big feet odd mouth/face
