Do you recognize the face in this knocker/pull handle?

Is this Bacchus? Some other culture? I would like a bit more information before I listed it. Any info will be much appreciated.

I think the Thai look is coincidental. A search for "devil head" or "demon head" knocker brings up a whole host of examples. May be Italian:
