The words are inscribed and I tried rubbing and it still comes out as Triarn Tiam, Paris, assuming these are the letter T. Doing the rubbing did make the letters alot more legible. So thank you for the helpful suggestion. I just cannot find anything on this yet.. frustrating. And it's possible that it's made out of a resin but the back below the shoulders look so much like wood and whereas the forehead is hard and shiny the back is softer and you can almost take a fingernail and scrape the material off. It has me stumped. I can't even think of a material that this resembles. Please keep bringing suggestions or answers, you all have been so helpful and I do appreciate it very much.
