Looks like an Apple II computer with a non standard monitor.

It's a woven material. I don't think it's wool. Is it a man made fibre?

It's not a man made fiber. It's plant based. It's not used for clothing and is a very coarse weave.

Is it a sack? Probably made from hemp.

It's a sack, but it's not made of hemp. It answers the question, though.

Over to you, Richard.

That would be correct. We call it burlap over here.
See my previous post.

Is it a "Virginie Men" statue? Dating back to the 16th century - wooden figures were placed on store counters to represent tobacco companies or brands.
The headdresses and skirts / kilts, were to appear to be made from tobacco leaves.

As for the country of origin, I'd say England. Sir Walter Raleigh made pipe smoking popular in Great Britain. AA
