My deceased father, who was stationed in Central America, brought this back about 50 years ago. He was interested in the Inca, Aztec, and other Andean civilizations. Searching online, I find many similar items, most of which are housed in museums and art galleries. However, I don't know the details of the era or area in which it was made. It is approximately 23 centimeters tall and 16 centimeters at its widest point. There are no major scratches.
