Antique articulated hand carved figure

Nice patina and all hand carved.  I had to re-string ( hands and feet have screws for attaching ) this and had a chance to see all the workmanship and carving that went into each and every individual piece.  The hands and face are particularly expressive.  The head and neck were carved separately from the torso and then inserted.  Not sure if this was made as a child's toy, artist model, etc.?  9 inches tall.
