This piece has been in the family for many years. I recently cleaned it with plain water and removed a heavy patina of dust that was so bad that I thought it was a plaster cast! There are remnants of green paint. She's some kind of very heavy wood. Internet web sites suggest that she's a Tibetan Kwan Lin. Can you confirm? It's 59cm high, 15.25cm across the plinth, and weighs a hefty 5.5kg. I see values from ten dollars to tens of thousands. Is she rare? Valuable?
