Looks Like a Crackhead Moonie, Help!

I bought this thing yesterday because I thought it looked unique and I have never seen anything like it before. The head, hands and feet are carved wood. They are attached to what I can only describe as a canvas type "pillow" with no stuffing. There is no way to make it a pillow. It does not stand up on it's own. It has some funky looking fingers in a weird position, almost like a Buddhist hand gesture. Anybody ever seen anything like this? How would I even list it? Creepy looking dude imho.

Buddhist yoga doll?

Buddhist is right I guess, those ears are definitely "Buddha like". I found the same type of hands too. Buddha Blessing Hands Sculpture mudra Balinese Wood Carving Statue Bali Art Set | eBay So I'm guessing it's from Bali more than likely.

Geeze, type in "balinese wood doll" and get some interesting images that I will have to revisit. Ahem, yours looks like a couple I found that were painted but looked kinda similar.Balinese Wood Decorative Dolls and Puppets at NOVICA.

Thanks to both of you. Gib for the "original thought" and war for the link to one. I found him there, only difference is the color of his "robe" and the slant of his eyes. Close enough for me. Cotton and Wood Display Doll - Serene Man | NOVICA

I had found a few, but they were all painted. Your's is a much closer match.
