Time, however, tends to cool all passions, as it has (barely) for this one. As I consider her serene face, I am invariably reminded of a Frankie Laine song from the early 50's; [B]Rose, Rose I Love you:[/B] "[I]...Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away, Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay![/I]" Anyway, after all this time I'm still ignorant of her true origin; based on the bows at throat an' hair, garment features, hair style, almond eyes an' skin tone, I'm not sure at all that she isn't a citizen of a large an' ethnically diverse SE Asian population. Please offer what you can about her. Her plinth is an oval, 7/8" thick, 3 3/4" x 2 1/8"; she's 5 3/8" to the tip of her hair-bow, cast of white plaster-like material; weight ~11.4 oz.
