She stands 15 inches tall and seems to be carved out of a solid block of wood. Thank you

This appears to be a Vietnamese carving, based on its features, costuming and tone of the gilt, the latter suggestive of exposure to incense smoke but also may reflect lacquering. I searched some web outlets and online auction results but was unable to find a match or anything close that had sold. I lack hands-on experience with this type of Vietnamese carving, though I've seen them in market shops along the Mekong in Northeastern Thailand and Laos, where there's a substantial population of ethnic Vietnamese. Perhaps others who visit the forum can provide further information.

Best regards,

Bill H.
