"I think it has to be made at least 10 or 20 years old due to its manual tool marks."
If you are referring to the marks indicated by the arrows, I think you are mistaking the carving of the fur texture detail for tool marks.
While all carving is certainly a result of a tool, I believe these diagonally placed lines are not a telltale signature left by a particular tool, but intentional detail lines.
If you are referring to something else, please indicate what you are referring to.
