african? bronze/brass sculpture

Hi folks

something i picked up at the thrifts today, i can't decide if its something or nothing

i'm guessing maybe african but unsure

good weight, a solid something

not sure if you would call it a bronze or brass, as i think they have different compositions, or was that india

any thoughts or info appreciated

 

what the heck is she holding ???

 

She is holding two tea light/votive candle holders.
I remember these tea light holders from the 1980s or so. The figures look African but I don't know if they are African made.

 

This one is similar, but probably by another maker:
