Not oriental in my view... European....or....?
see

Although... The base is curved...which leads me to suggest Moroccan and with the same style of small handles..seen below.
Such humanoid shapes may be related to Talisman so I show a similar shape from Oman...Adam near Nizwa . Warding off the Devil. ( The Devil being the geometric shape traced out in red on your flask face.) The geometry may also be a warding off the evil eye illustrated by the central rectangle..The Eye.
