Identifying bronze deity

Hello All, I would appreciate any information provided about this piece. Thanks, Randy

 

it's a woman..

 

Welcome @anteks,

A few more photos may be helpful in identification. May we please see her face, the back, and a closeup of her left hand so we can see if she is holding anything that might be a significant attribute.

She looks Asian, but the posture is not a typical one for a Buddhist religious figure.

When posting photos, please select the option for "Full Image" rather than thumb nail.

Thank you, Aquitaine.

Now that I can see it better, I am not even sure if it is intended to be a female or male figure. It appears to be a plant leaf that he/she is holding, and it is not the lotus that would be typical of Buddhist figures.

I think this is most probably a decorative chinoiserie figure (a Western imitation of Chinese style).

 

Hmmm, not so sure on that. Is that a collar, or a necklace?

It's hard to tell with only one angle, but it does look like a Lotus bud with lily pad to me.

 

Possibly. As you say, hard to tell from the angle we have. But the leaf looks more arrowhead shaped to me, rather than a lotus leaf:


At any rate, I don't see any other typical Buddhist attributes. And as @Any Jewelry has taken a look, (but not said anything), I still doubt that it is an actual Buddhist (or Hindu) depiction.
