It does appear to be a piece of a porcelain doll head but I think the "made in" mark dates it to after 1921. The AM stands for Armand Marseille, the 7/0 is the size of the doll and the number above that we can only see a portion of is the mold number. That doll head shown by bass assassin is definitely Victorian.
