    So I think I paid a buck for this whatever it is. Small-ish, perhaps some form of papier-mache, the back is raw, front is painted with a lady with a basket or pot on her head. Does anyone know what this is about? Feel free to take a guess! Thanks for looking.

      Hmm. Cute! If she had a bindi I might say Indian although the motifs around her aren't necessarily so.
      Hmm.

      Katherine, she is charming!

      Love her big feet and one only big eye, she could figure in a cartoon :-)

      Pretty sure she's Indian, and wear a sari.

      Thanks for the love, racer4four, kyratango, martika, Alan2310, mikelv85, and JImam. :)

      Karen, yep, it's a hmmmer, all right, lol. Can't make heads or tails out of her or the object. :)

      Pascale, the eye looks distinctly Egyptian to me! Isn't this the strangest thing? :)
