Anyone any idea on the age or maker of this figure? Thanks :)
I believe from what someone else has told me that she's carrying firewood. I have found a couple of other pieces which may, or may not, have been inspiration for the figurine:

Doesn't really tell me much about my figure though so any help will be much appreciated. :)
No idea about the maker but the little bonnet and the square-toed shoe makes me think it depicts a Pilgrim lady.
It's really quite lovely!
