Just picked this up at my job. I work at an antique store and a customer brought it in to sell. I know nothing about it, other than it's bronze and definitely isn't new. I believe it's a Barbie product due to the star earring. Anyone ever see one of these. Have been looking for hours to find a comparable one, but am coming up with nothing. It's about 4 inches tall, 3 inches wide.

Just doing a bit of tidying up on some older threads, mainly for the benefit of anyone searching the site for information.

Not Barbie-related. It’s a vintage wall decoration by Richard Rohac:

Richard Rohac (1906–1956) was an Austrian designer and master metal craftsman, virtually unknown outside his home country in his lifetime. His work was sold internationally through the export company Gebr. Gödde (Gödde Brothers, often with no more than his logo ((mirror image capital Rs inside a box) and/or the words "Made in Austria”.
