Antique hand crafted wooden owl - Tribal?

Item Details

Description

Unusual carving of what may be a totemic owl. Has characteristics typical of similar pieces created by both Native American and cultures south of the border influenced by Mesoamericans civilizations. Water ring on base is evidence it was stored in a floorless room on moist ground. This is a common feature of older ethnographic artifacts, and one suggestive of authenticity. Truthfully though, this is a tough nut to crack. Opinions on what this piece might actually be would be very much welcomed.
