Found off of a main river in the sand. General location is mid south region states. It is very solid and hard and sand like feel to it. Roughly 2.5" wide and 3" tall. No markings on it as to artist that may have created it. Any ideas would be great. Thanks

Hard to say who or when it was made, the material is odd as it looks like it was formed as one would do with clay but doesn't look like clay.

Photo of the back please, there maybe a subtle clue someone may see.

Looks a bit like something a kid might make.

Your description of area is pretty broad. 😁
Looks like a sand casting of sorts.

School project or something of that caliber.

Thinking it is a school project as well but wild to find it off the Mississippi. Here are pics of the back, little blurred (sorry just the messenger do not have the find in hand)
