Either take it to a museum (but depending on where you live, they might not have a clue either) or call the history or anthropology department at a university near you locally. A professor would be able to research it (or get their grad student to) and tell you more about it, and if it was really from the 17th century or not.

Go to local museum and/or local historical society.

Try studying it a little bit more. If it's the real deal, congrats!
