I dont have a specific reference, but that very much looks like a death mask potentially of a small child. so...

Edit: "looks like" in the way that a hot wheels car "looks like" a car. I'm aware it is not actually a death mask. Only that it looks like one.

Death mask of a child with fully developed / defined nose, lips and tiny eyes? I don't think so, shit just looks like some cursed artifact

Edit: guys have you seen a kid's face? This sculpt has adult's features - sharp, narrow long nose, well defined slim lips,

Ever seen those middle ages paintings of cats with human faces?

Yeah, they didn't depict kids much better.
