I do not know where else to go---

I think Lew has made an excellent call on this one. This piece really is on the arcane side, but we all love a challenge!!! I am inclined to agree with Lew that this may well be a game piece, especially after the illustration of the gane using similarly fashioned stick pieces.
The figure is of course a native soldier as appears and likely in colonial British service, difficult to say WWI or II as the uniforms were seemingly not very much changed over these periods.
Best regards,
Jim
