Bronze Hindu Deity Help ID Please

Hi all, can anybody help me ID this figure? It looks Thai to me and my intuition tells me not that old or valuable but would like a second opinion before I put it in the charity bin! Thanks

 

Yes, she is from Thailand, but she is not a deity. She is a Kinnari. Kinnaras are celestial beings, usually musicians, half human, half bird.
She is not very old, but she has some value.

 

Thanks a lot Any Jewlery, that will be why I couldn't find her when I was searching through the deity's

It was what I thought was very poor gold painting that made me think it was poor quality but I think it is gilt rather than paint? Would this have been made with the "loss wax" technique then do you know?

 

Very likely. I don't know if she is gilt or if it is some other metal. When I was in Thailand, many moons ago, they only had the non-gilt ones. I guess gilding(?) was introduced in the 1980s.

 

Thanks again AJ. I might keep her now I have learned about the Kinnari
