This is the wooden statue of Nobunaga's wet nurse Youtokuin (1515-1608) located at Kokuseji, Okayama City. Youtokuin was the mother of Nobunaga's retainer Ikeda Tsuneoki (1536-84).
The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 98) "...Ikeda Shozaburo (Tsuneoki), the son of Nobunaga's wet nurse. In other words, Shozaburo and Lord Nobunaga, the actual power holder, had drunk the same mother's milk; the two were like brothers."
Another good resource is Okada Masahito Oda Nobunaga Sogo Jiten (pp. 183-185).
Tenka no tame!
