Cast in a fantastic form, the miniature figure was used as a pendent and also possibly for divination purposes. It has a very smooth worn (specially at its back) patina indicating that it has been used and handled a lot over time. What is wonderful about this small miniature is its sculptural style, with its beautifully curved body and its sweeping circular arms joining delicately at the knees.
Estimated Period: First Half 20th Century (likely 1st Quarter)
