Help me identify this wood block art thing

We inherited a wood block carving from some well traveled relatives. Unfortunately, they don't remember anything about it as it has been sitting in a closet for many years. Help us figure out where it's from, and any other details about it.

wreckingball has it. The proportions and lungta motif are good indicators that it was used to print prayer flags. The Tibetan script on the block appears in reverse, so that it would transfer correctly onto the printed surface.
Out of curiosity, what are its dimensions?

Response by poster: Thank you for the answers! It is about 8.5" wide x 13.5" tall.
