Can anyone help me identify this statue? I obtained it from the USA, but I have no idea if it is valuable, or just decorative. Approx 12" tall. No identifying marks. Head is unglazed. Glaze to body shows no signs of cracking.

Great ID, Jim! :)
Thanks so much for your help Jim :-) I have uploaded a photo of the base. There don't appear to be any makers marks. I did notice the 4 round marks from what were probably surface protectors (small foam or felt dots), leading me to think this is a modern reproduction or chotsky. Just didn't want to sell it for a few pennies if it's worth a lot LOL!
Jurojin – Jurojin is the god of wisdom and long life. He is portrayed as an old man with a long white beard, who wears a hat and holds a knobbled walking stick with a scroll tied to it.
Fukurokuju – the god of happiness, wealth and longevity, Fukurokuju has an elongated forehead and a long moustache. He too holds a walking stick with a scroll tied to it, so is often confused with Jurojin.
next question is the official Jurojin – Jurojin is the god of wisdom and long life. He is portrayed as an old man with a long white beard, who wears a hat and holds a knobbled walking stick with a scroll tied to it.
