<p>[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 4271285, member: 88"]This piece was one of the things I got on the table lot last Friday. I thought I had figured out who she was but now I am second-guessing myself. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>She is 8" tall. There is an impressed "CHINA" mark on the bottom as well as possibly a couple of Chinese characters that could possibly be the carver's name. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure what kind of material was used to make this piece. The bottom is super smooth & has 2 holes that I assume were used to hold this piece in place while being made or her original stand had 2 pegs that would keep her secure or both. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am also not sure if her exterior was painted. I was surprised that she was a solid piece & thought she was plastic when I first saw her.
