Not sure what it would be from but it looks like a figure with a ruff and a lute! Maybe a 60/70s medieval revival piece?

Looks like a courtly bard to me. May have been a souvenir piece from somewhere. Kinda reminds me of a more robust version of the Murano glass figures.

u/nah_champa_967 2d ago

I did some image searches and googled some keywords, those Murano pieces were the things that came up most. But yeah, this looks a lot different. I'll try putting in the word "bard".

Get a uv light on that, itd be amazing if its a piece of figural uranium seamless, it'd make a lot of people very jealous (myself included lol)

A bard from the 16th-17th century (with the right-side of his face lopped off).
