My first gut reaction is a tourist trade item.

What is the story behind this?
Where did you obtain this item?
What is the dimensions?

You did not post a photo showing the rear to the front or full on side photo. Could you post those please?

It looks like one of the types of incense burners (copal pine resin), but I agree it looks more like a tourist item to me.

If you want to see some pictures of them you can google Mayan Incense Burner and check out the images, most will be larger stationary pots, but the hand held ones are there.

If you google the Spanish name you'll see more relevant pictures.

Sahumador maya
or
Sahumador azteca

It is an interesting piece I will give you that.

Either way; It may not have a high extrinsic value on the market but the intrinsic value to you personally being gifted from you mother - is high.
