Who is this?

Or maybe I should ask- "What is this?" Other than the fact that it is a charm, it is about 3/4" in height and was in a box lot of items from a sale in Newtown, CT. It looks like ivory and the gold looks real (real small that is). I was going to take an image from the back but other than to confirm the color or texture, it is unremarkable. It is sitting in kind of a squat position with the toes facing forward on a pedestal with a notch in the center. A view from the side would show crudely carved arms with hands and 3 fingers that extend down to the ground.

Curious? Valuable? Interesting? Strange? Enough about my identity crisis, what about the charm?
