This mid to late 18th century fellow is most likely German or Austrian and is richly carved from linden with oustanding facial features and moppy hair.  Measuring 8 5/8" tall x 8 1/2" wide x 3 1/2" deep, the face suggests a child's portrait and the pigmentation appears to be of the period for the most part.  The symmetrically arrayed wings boast much original gold leaf (on red bole/gesso ground) with areas of wear and  dull gold indicating later bronze powder over gilding/touch-up.  The wood is in very good condition (minimal or no worming) and there is some paint/gesso loss in his hair on top.  He has been displayed for years and is dusty.  I have made no effort to clean the historic surfaces: I'll leave that to the buyer.
