    I’m trying to think of some purpose for it. Is it heavy? Something Asian about it. Just guessing

    FrogBug? Those wings don't look like they belong to a bird.

    There seems to be a fashion for winged frogs in online gift shops these days.
    I don't know if this one was made on Bali, but the Balinese will carve anything if there is a demand for it.
