I recently purchased this item at an estate sale and am having some trouble identifying the origin. I believe it to be Asian - possibly Indian? or Balinese? Any help / insight would be extremely helpful! The figure appears to have old metal pegs on the top and bottom, I was thinking it was possibly a very old door handle or something along those lines? It appears to be EXTREMELY old and worn. I would love to be able to link it to a culture if possible.
