Is it an allusion to a medieval woman with one of those pointed hats and trailing veil that they wore during those times? Is it an alien with a pointy head? Or is it simply some kind of tribal artwork?

The statue below was spotted in the cobblestone square ringed by shops that lies directly opposite the massive fortified chateau (castle) in Fougeres in northern France. It stood over 6 feet tall and, unfortunately, the shop that was selling it was closed for the day. I guess they trusted that no one would just carry it away overnight.
