    Does look a bit like a figurehead.

    "She" appears to holding a flat platform/support above her head. It's a good piece IMO and looks to be in good condition too which suggests it was/is an item of interior display. Possibly a prop from a Fairground ride perhaps? I'd wager it would sell for quite a good price if listed & catalogued correctly at an auction.

    I agree, it is a good piece and there is interest in these.

    I think we'd need to know size before going much further. Could be from a fireplace surround too. Whatever their original purpose, good honest wear.

    I don't think terribly old. If I had to guess, I'd think late 1910s - early 1920s.
