What do you think this came off of? Smallish carved wood bird

It's about 5 inches across.  There is what feels like a nail through the width, at the eyes.

If there is nothing on the other side,, looks like it is part of a pair that maybe came off a piece of furniture  or something wooden !!  Kind of reminds me of the luck symbols for over the doorway, German possibly !!

The other side looks the same.  I'll do some searching, thanks.
