That is really cool, I would guess its something that was made in a craft class or the like, Where did you find it and are there any markings on it I like that a lot!!!!!!!!

I found it at an Estate sale, I collect snd sell Silver jewelry. It does not have any markings on it, all I know is that it is silver and it looks like kokopelli but it lacks the hunch-back that kokopelli has.

It looks like a Kachina figure, but there are so many types! The distinguishing features I would search for are the two horns on the top of the head, two winged 'ears'?, the flute, and the circular dotted pattern on the chest.

The Mayan god of Maize (corn) with his corn 3rd eye crown. Kulkulkhan came down from heaven and made corn, and then he made man out of corn. The Hopi went north taking with them the gods of sun, rain and earth. The Kachina are spirits important to them, this being the corn god.
Could it be a corn shucker for taking the kernels from the cob?
