Hi Bill...

Welcome to the forum!!

Could you try some more photos being careful to get the focus sharp? This looks as tho it could be native american... There's a lot of Adena and Hopewell artifacts in your area, especially along the rivers...

What might it be made of? Fired clay?

You might want to show it to a nearby museum curator or university anthropology department...

Nice find!!!

Hey D. Bill, Looks like the face has a large moustache? If so, I think it would preclude it from being native american. Looks like "Folk Art". "Comedy~Tragedy" maybe? [8|]
