Does Anyone Recognize this figure

This figure was acquired at auction a few years back in a small grouping that included 2 Maricopa pots from the 1960s and an Australian Wandjina carving so I'm inclined to believe this is also native of some variety - I'm inclined to think one of many meso-American cultures but have not been able to identify it as to origin or date. It is about 3.5" high and about 5" across the arms. It is hollow with the only openings being the pots in her hands.

 

Looks like a dual candle holder. The green residue inside the "bowls" is probably candle wax.

 

it's kinda nice...

 

A very sweet angel, and I agree, it looks Meso-American, or even Colombian. The two rosettes or flowers on either side of the face could be an indication of local dress.
Maybe @2manybooks has an idea.

 

I have not seen one of these before, and as a non-traditional form it is more difficult to identify. Can you tell if the white flecks we can see are part of the clay body, or are they an accidental or intentional surface application? My first thought was that it might be the micaceous clay used in Picuris and Taos pottery, but the style of the face, earrings (?), and hairstyle are not typical Pueblo, more Meso-American. If it was Pueblo of any sort, I would also expect a more explicit mark on the bottom. Perhaps @Taupou can recognize the clay body and the "C" stamp.

 

I would say it's possibly from Chile, since the unglazed fired clay looks similar to some I've seen from there. The simple, rounded form is also associated with some Chilean pottery.

 

The white flecks appear to be the clay body. They are not on the surface.

 

How old would this be?

 

It's quite like this one that says it was purchased in Mexico in the 1970s.

It is virtually identical. Any idea what it sold for?

 

The Worthpoint description from ebay refers to it as Barro Negro Black Clay which is not right for that piece or mine.
