I think she may be an Indonesian sculpture, carved from mahogany.

Good call Arte!

I will say Bali teak. Popular decorator item from the mid 20th C.

I see some on ebay and etsy in the $100 range. They probably don't sell at that price. Not a big market for them.

Try smelling it. For Real! Many indian carvings made of so-called Sandal-wood that smells really nice...
