Hey everyone. I found this in my garage.

It looks familiar, but I don't have the name of it. I want to sell it on eBay, and need the name before I can do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Rats !
Beaten again to a response coz I didn't get out of bed earlier !
The two above are spot on - the statue in your picture is a copy of a Cycladic head (see link to one in The Louvre).
An original would date back to 3000-2000BCE, but I would imagine yours dates back to around this time last year.
Sorry to be disappointing, but don't expect too much off e-bay. You can pick one of these up in any tourist shop in Athens for less than €20 depending on the size.

It is a Peruvian Nose Dildoe. It is used in ceremonial dances in South America. You can tell it from the Bolivian variety, because theirs have a brown stain on the nose from using it on the other end.
Yours is unusually good condition and should get over 1,000,000 Pesos for it.

beachbab11 is right. It appears to be a (not too inspired) copy of a cucladic head; compare an original here:

Wow, it's worth a million bucks! It's called "Venus".
