Featured Red Agate or Carnelian Carved Asian Figurine

Hi All.
I have come across this little figurine. It is carved stone, which I believe is either a red agate or carnelian. From research I think it is one of the lucky gods - Benzaiten with lute. Im just having a hard time finding out how to list this thing, no sure of stone or age. It is nicely worked, and color is beautiful. Any help would be appreciated.

 

measures about 4"

 

First thought in my mind. She is really cute.

 

im just having a heck of a time figuring out how to list this thing.. going to put it on ebay,. I would put it on etsy but not sure of price yet... lol

 

Looks like it could be carnelian and would be almost impossible to date.

 

Thank you, I was leaning towards carnelian as well.
I'm not thinking it is that old, but still cant seem to find anything similar. Mostly what you see are cheap looking animal figurines.

 

THAT little section of what almost looks like dots on the bottom kind of looks like it could be an artist’s signature... can you get a CLEAR, SHARP, CLOSE-UP, possibly?? Your pictures are great, and she’s wonderful!!!!

 

Find someone with a gem tester so you can be sure what the material is. Carnelian will test as quartz.
