I think that this is a statue of the Chinese Earth God or tudigong (土地公), sometimes also known as大伯公.

Is it not made of bronze? At least that is what it looks like in your picture and its weight.

I cannot see the mark clearly but I think it comprises of two characters: 馬呂 which is probably the name of the person who made this statue.

Hope this helps.
