Made of white stone. The nose is on top of this and appears to be blowing into something

Looks like it's looking through binoculars.

It’s a modern piece of décor inspired by Ancient Greek art from the Cycladic islands, James.

Probably loosely copied from this one of a ‘double-flute’ player found in a grave on the island of Keros, dating to 2700-2500 BC.

PS: I love Cycladic art. It's so stylish. There's a wonderful shop in London called "All Greek to Me" that sells inexpensive copies of many such pieces.

I note that the figurine is not anatomically correct.
It only has four toes.

Great work on the I.D. of this piece of artwork Red-Coat.

Came upon this, by chance:



The seller is in Greece and says it's copied from the one in Athens museum (the one I originally pictured, found on the island of Keros).
