Statue

[Ripcon]

I found this statue of what appears to be a female figure. It doesn't appear to be a doll. It's made of some type of allow. Is this some type of erotica figure? Playboy figure, etc. I found it at an old home site and it's very intriguing. I was wondering if anyone has found anything similar or what it was used for.

You need to give sizes?

Looks to be made of Spelter which would date it to early 1900s.

It's 3 inches long.

Pretty small then. That should help someone.

I would guess it’s the remains of a diving lady hood ornament

Funny, I held off stating hood ornament, as it was my first guess without knowledge of the item it's self. I wonder if we can find a picture?
