Any ideas, thanks in advance.

Found in a lake where the water receded a lot. This place was a farm up until the 1950's then filled in to make the lake. I did find a colonial shoe buckle in the same area awhile back. It appears to be made of pewter. It's about 6" by 4" when it was full of dirt it looked like mother Theresa haha. After cleaning it, it's a man with full beard and mustache and head wrap. Indian? Jesus? Middle East man? Looks like it had something across the back.

Moses?

 

[DCMatt]

Possibly part of a bookend?

 

[vhs07]

Moses?

Might be, but I think Moses would be depicted with a longer beard.

Willie Nelson? -just kidding
There almost appears to be words on the bottom flat surface... Do you see anything there in person?

 

[PhillyMike68]

No, nothing written that I can see. Willie has a much longer beard lol

Try Peter, turn up side down to read any words. I see the word priest, but unsure which order. It is at least 300 yrs. Old.

I will admit my first thought was Native American. But they don't typically have significant facial hair.

There are plenty of Native America styled bookends from the first half of the 20th C. I'm still thinking bookend...

BTW... It looks like pot metal to me.

Thought I had it for a moment, but after further review, I guess not:

Don.....

 

[nhbenz]

Haha, Don I must have watched that scene 500 times... And my daughter is only 3-1/2. She calls him the HooHoo guy.

Looks kind of Mid-Eastern or Arabic, maybe?

It could be an emblem off of a fishing boat, some companies had Indian names.

 

[CRUSADER]

Door stop?

 

[PhillyMike68]

I don't think it's heavy enough for a door stop or book end. It's very lite weight, I don't think it would hold. Def one of the strangest things I've found. It's kinda creepy lol

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

I wonder if a Winnebago had that as an Emblem.

 

[missroma]

To me looks like a black man,see the lips and the nose.

 

[BosnMate]

Willie Nelson?

No kidding, that was my first thought also.

 

[Bruce R]

I'm not sure, but I think that's Sonny Barger.
