Black Jaguar Soapstone Carved Trinket Tray

Black Jaguar or Cat Soapstone Carved Trinket Tray. This is very unusual item here. I assume that it's a jaguar that is crouched with it's neck and head in the tray. It has the shoulder and forepaws structure of a bear but the face of a rat or jaguar and a long tail. The forelegs are are tucked underneath as if it is holding the tray. There is some crud stuck in the crease of the tail and body. It is quite heavy for the size. There is chips in the black finished surface exposing the stone underneath. However these areas are on the surface only and can be filled in with paint or markers. There are no cracks or big chips on the animal. The tray part has a crack that only shows on the inside and does not go through. There are a few tiny rim chips. It is such an unusual item I really don't know what to make of it.
