    Sorry to impose, just want to list this properly. Can the stone be ID’ed and any ideas of searchable wording text to get more information. All I get is very elaborate pieces that put this little guy to shame.

    6.5” tall

    Looks like Mexican onyx/travertine,probably south of the border someplace.

    Reminds me a little of this guy I picked up but he appears to be a serpent.

    The flattened forehead and high nose ridge look Mayan to me. Maya inspired, rather than a replica.

    Like king Pakal of Palenque:
