Hello, Can anyone identify this Asian monk carving; it has no signature, that I could see. Any assistance in identifying this carving would be appreciated! Thank you. David.

Need a close picture, photo #2, from head down.
Is there a small circle visible on this carving?

It looked like a Tagua nut, but obviously is not. The white/grey area under the face/head is not very well visible. So far I haven't got a clue.Maybe some background of this item may be helpful.
