Looks to me like a stuffed and stitched toy! Especially the cobbled stitching on his left arm. But I really like the effect of the Kodalith with this one.
It's really a weird effect, like it was shot with a flash and some sort of backdrop. But what it was, half the exposure on the paper, maybe 60s, was through a crappy vinyl record sleeve, and the needles on that left side were blurred into a shadow.
