It looks like a badly carved dog to me!

Yes and he is even wearing earphones - or is it a space helmet?

I think it's a helmet - a bit like the Cyborgs' heads in Dr. Who!

Hey - do you remember Princess Leia in Star Wars? I spent ages getting my little daughter's hair to look like hers for a carnival, back in the late 70s/early 80s. My kids went as Darth Vader, Princess Leia and R2D2 (that was the 3 yr old)!

Looks like the real thing to me - a Romano-British carving of the 1st century BC. The earphones are probably rams horns and it is a depiction of Cernunnos.

Yes, you can just make out the anti-clockwise spiralling on its left horn.
