Looks like a sculptors version of a childs death mask !!

I was thinking it reminds me of a death mask as well Mart.
-
Thats about the only thing I can make of it !!

Think youre probaly right with the closed eyes .
-
How big is this thing ?? Another thought would be part of a fountain sculpture from looking at the wear pattern and coloration !! Are you sure it is made of clay like a pottery ??
-
be part of a fountain sculpture
A good guess there, Mart, ...... a child under a "spray" of water should be portrayed with their eyes pretty much closed.

Cogar,, notice the hole on the bottom !! Perhaps a metal frame ?? And the hair looks sort of wet !!
-
The total height is 13 cm and it looks like stone . The hole is to mount it on a piece off rightangled wood on a steel pin with some age but nothing on like markings or whatever . So heavy and painted and the structure looks like a stone surface . Looked with a microscope even :o So still a mystery to me :-[

I find it intriguing!

Me to but difficult item to place in a group off art :P
