Who is this guy? http://imgur.com/a/dSIGY

http://imgur.com/a/dSIGY Is he a North American slave? Is he from a specific part of Africa or somewhere else? Does any of his clothing, jewelry or anything else tell you when and where he might have been from? Are his clothes and stuff just "made up"?

I don't think I can add anything that you can't get from the low quality photos, but I'll try if anyone has any questions. I've never posted here but I read the rules and am hoping I'm okay.

Thanks!

What are we looking at? Where does it come from? Who has made it? When was it made?

you might try x-posting to /r/WhatisThisThing: tracking down stuff is right up their alley. Also /r/Antiques may know something about this kind of piece
