<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 204363, member: 2844&quot;]She is lovely, most likely a Hindu goddess.</p><p>The way the skirt is worn, symmetrical with the central part tucked higher into the waist band, looks very Indian. An Indonesian sarung (tube skirt) would have a fold on one side, an Indonesian kain (what we would call sarong) would be worn with one flap hanging down one side, often past the feet.</p><p>Earrings in the Indonesian Hindu regions (pre WW II) were either round discs or twisted leaves worn through the extended earlobes.</p><p>The paneled crown again doesn&#039;t look Indonesian. It reminds me of Himalayan crowns.</p><p>The tilaka/tika or round spot on the forehead is Hindu.</p><p>My guess is Hindu Nepal or northern India.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
