Old? Carved wood nude lady with shawl sitting

I found this at my thrift store Fri, it appears old & banged up (i would haved passed, but for $12.99 it was unusual enough (google image search turned up no matches) - can anyone tell if it's actually old or was it made to look distressed?
(Theres a dent in 1 side (photo 7), that's wood too

Could it be from/for a temple?

Any thoughts or help with this would be greatly appreciated!

 

Very interesting thing. Does look to have real/true age (well that’s just what I think) Is it heavy and solid? Is the dented part not something like paper mache? How much does the whole thing weigh? Maybe something like paper mache mould figure mounted on a wooden base? The leg where the foot is missing is that solid wood?

 

It looks like someone saw her inside a chunk of tree trunk and carved her. Then she's got gesso and paint over top.
