Beaded Man, Mouth Open, Vintage Sculpted Clay Head

Quite a lot of character packed into this guy through quite an expressive  application and sculpting of lots of bits of clay. He makes me think of Ernest Hemingway in his later years, and feels a bit Zeus-like too. With an pocket opening on the reverse, such that one could stuff him with matches or a little secret treasure or two!   

4 1/2" t x 3 1/2" w x 3" d and in very good condition, no chips/losses at all that I see, and some age to it for sure. Signed in pen on reverse but mostly rubbed away.
