Large (70+cm tall) Stone Head Carving Origin?

Hi,

A neighbor asked if I could help her identify the origin of this sculpture. Her late husband was a doctor who worked for the UN and was posted to SE Asia. She has quite a few items he collected that appear to be Burmese, and quite a few more than appear to be Indonesian.

The stone appears to be a dense basalt.

I've exhausted the scant reference books I have on art from the region... any help anyone more knowledgable here can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks... I've attaching small images as well as a link to a large copy of the image below.
