Hmm. First, I'd try to use only / and \ with _ and no M's to get it
smaller..but the two more gently sloping lines would be a problem.
     /\
 ___/__\___
  -/_  _\-
  / _--_ \
 /_-    -_\

suggests the shape, is fairly small (5 high, 10 wide), but is clearly
badly proportioned.

      /\
 ____/__\____
  --/_  _\--
   / _--_ \
  /--    --\

comes a bit closer. (5 high, 12 wide)

If we try using a larger choice of characters, we can come even
closer:

      /\
 ____/__\____
  "-/_  _\-"
   / _--_ \
  /.-    -.\
