meaning handsome boy

I'm not sure the maker but surely 1950s-60s or so

a British carving of a woman dating to the late 1500s

Carved of burl wood, and with good age to it, really feeling as if it has always been here. 3" l x 1 5 16" w x 1 5 8" t. Very good condition. Looks like perhaps more recently the neck end was trimmed flush.
