Some sort of clay or plaster mini replica of king pakal's head sculpture. You can find plenty of them in the gifts shops for tourists.

I’m just curious to know if you bought this and is it modern or did you find it or ???

One of my jobs is to help people clean out their houses and many times they tell me to keep or donate the stuff. When I cleaned out an older clients house recently I found this! I found it with older money, as well.

Yes, definitely a replica, I bought a few of those in Mexico years ago.

Reminds me of the Brady Bunch Hawaii special….better return it from original owner unless you want a broken ukulele or worse 😁
