This appears to be a old wooden carved bottle stopper. The wood is very dense and hard, it has glass eyes. There appears to be something missing on the top rear of the head (hair or feathers?) It could be a Indian Figure. There are no markings on the piece. Anyone have a clue?

Hi bill, this is cool, and glass eyes? Neat! For some reason, I think German. Just a guess, hope it gets solved for you
