Buying Vintage Soapstone Carving Monkey Bird Seagull Toothpick or Match Holder

Up for sale is this hand buying carved container that I think is a toothpick, match holder or possibly a small vase. I think it is made from Soapstone but I do not know for sure. It measures about 3" wide at the widest part of the base to 2.25" on one side and stands about just shy of 3" tall. Please review the photographs for the condition and email me if you have any questions.
