    This figure is approx 4.5" high and appears to be mainly slip cast.

    Perhaps something like a ramo of flowers that filled the bowl and stretched to either side?

    I have this. Yes flowers. Contemporary and likely from Mexico, after Diego Rivera.

    Botero does Diego Rivera?:playful: That one is very sweet though. Ready to go to the cemetery, probably.

    The slits in the arms I believe are just kiln vents because the arms are separate from the body.

    This picture is very similar - the feet in particular are quite distinctive.
