Posting here because it was found in a shrimp net. Any help would be appreciated. Looks carved out of marble.

My friend... You have what appears to be Kewpie dolls. They were most often carried by migrant workers from Mexico or South America. A worker who had 3 children he had to leave in his home country would have 1 for each child I believe they would bless them and keep them with them so he could help to keep his children safe while he was away.

Looks like a trio singing in a choir. Choir robes of that style date back to early 1800s. Not sure of the figurine's origin. I would doubt it dated prior to the 19th century. Thanks for sharing!
