    Hi,
    Not magnetic and approximately 14”. I’m thinking at least vintage and brass. Is she Indian? African?
    Thank you for any help

    It came with a lot of touristy stuff from Africa. Was wondering cause her face is so different to the ones I’m seeing. Ty

    Those tall crowns are South Indian, but I haven't seen this/these crown model(s) before.
    In Hindu terms this is the most complete divinity, incorporating both male and female.
    In some Asian traditions people who incorporate both male and female, in whichever way, are considered special, sometimes even divine. Sadly some traditions are lost or overruled by new religions, and along with it the traditional regard for people like that.
