From a smoke free home, is about 12 inches long. I am not sure on the exact age or anything about it. I got it in a box of candles so assume it is an incense burner. This may be handmade because if you see in the pictures around the back of the head it seems to look like clay the was formed around the base, I can not judge how well or not it is made so tried to add several pictures. Feel free to ask any questions.
