I found this delightful item about two years ago and have had little luck finding answers or something similar. She is 5 inches tall and weighs about 1 pound. The material seems to be stone, I even thought possibly coral. Is she a sea witch? A mer-monkey? She kind of looks like a monkey. Inuit? Any thoughts or clues are appreciated.
Looks like a contemporary, artistic interpretation of a mermaid.
Thanks, Golgatha. My thought was older. Do you know any stone-like material with the brown splotches like that?
it might be carved limestone.
I agree with ho2cultcha.
I've never seen limestone with the brown splotches in it like that. (We have lots of limestone here in central Texas.) It seems harder than limestone.
