    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.

    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.

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