Jose,
I understand your troubles, but in the meanwhile you can provide a lot more information to aid in your search for answers. How tall is it? Looks like ceramic, is it? Are there markings on the base? Any signatures or characters? You know? Help us, help you.

 

Is about 12in is large feels like porcelain I haven't found a mark yet I'm at work. But the bottom is Karina has a dirty Brown look to it. I just pick up from the post office is still in my car

Brassy gold plus dirty brown muck = not old at all

 

It can be clean I just rubbed off dirt lol

 

You shouldn't do that, you'll spoil the faker's efforts!

 

Lmao I found one close to it ming figurine

 

Matsu statue real. Found it

 

Might be some writing here. Almost looks like "made in China".

 

Yes she is Matsu, better known as Tianhou, Goddess of the sea.
Unfortunately the dirt is something fakers apply to make people who don't know antique Chinese porcelain believe it is old. Do you really think she would have been that dirty if she were genuine Ming? She would have received top treatment.

 

I don't believe is ming old. Could be in the 90s+. I saw this video guy is professional in Antique he said dirt is fake but sometimes not necessary because there work station is dirty. I'm i saying mine real IDk am saying fake IDk . To fake a vase understand vases are always in high demand but to fake a figuring idk. The dirt comes off. But i can't find one statue like mine online. I did find a drinking bottle

 

Figurines are always in high demand too. Go to any Chinese family, shop or restaurant, and you'll see a lot of Immortals, Goddesses etc. Tianhou/Matsu is very popular in Taiwan, and among the many Taiwanese overseas.

 

This thing is extremely heavy if I can use it as a hammer without it breaking I would lmfao hand-painted I've read a little bit information about it I picked this up because it came with necking vases and it was a deal so why not

 

If it is a good deal and you like it, you're right, why not.

 

I'll post again you'll see what else came in
