Vessel help needed

Got this a while back and had different people with different opinions.  I thought it was interesting so had to have it.  What's your thoughts?

Bottoms up!   There is a hole in the top of his head.

No incense burner.  ;D  He was made to carry water.  He is around 12" tall.  He has 2 little holes, one each side to put a carrying string through.  Suppose he could be a nice big coffee cup.  :D ;D

Looks like terra cotta,, most likely Mexico, South America !! Possibly a chocolate pot !!  Is he carrying a hammer ??
No other opening except the holes ??

He is carrying a spear.  Here's the top.  The system isn't letting me add more than 1 pic at a time.

You said there were holes for string ?? Or do they just go into the figure ??  Thought maybe a wire bail rather than string but can`t see the holes !!

The little holes are further down.  You put string through for carrying.  The top is for filling and pouring.

Is there any staining inside?

I believe he looks like he would hold aromatics of some sort!!!! Or.............

Does he have a small hold on the top of his head?  or the top of a foot?

The reason I am asking...does the hole go all the way through the lid or is it an indention (such as to hold a stick match)?
