Welcome to the forum , ivory .

Your item appears to be the Japanese God "Ebisu" (AKA - Kotoshironushi) .
He's commonly known as the God of fishermen , rice farmers (& more) .

One of the most popular & reproduced of the '7 Lucky Gods' of Japan , he's the only one of the 7 whose origin is exclusively from Japan .

He's usually depicted with a fishing pole in his raised hand , which yours seems to be missing .

Without really knowing the size & composition of your item , price just can't be speculated upon .

Thanks for posting your cool item !

How come I only see half of a figure and what is with that unreadable yellow post?  It is like that Manfred Mann song...Blinded by the Light!
