Unknown plastic figure

Anybody recognize it? I have others somewhere around with different outfits/looks. About 5" tall and I'd say about 5-8 ounces. Thanks in advance for any replies.

 

Is this part of a series of dolls in national costumes, all from different countries? Or do they all look Greek & this is for one location in Greece, possibly Delos or Delphi?

 

I can't find the other pair, but as I recall, they all had the same Greek (gypsy?) look.

 

A stereotypical gypsy would not be playing a lyre, which is why I suggested locations connected with Apollo. Orpheus was from Thrace, which seems like a less likely souvenir choice, if that's what these are.

Great replies all around. To the donations box these go, too.

 

I wish I could let more things go so easily...I have a box of old new Funky Elves that I think are Christmas ornaments. I will have to show you guys.
