Vintage Nude Plaster Figure

From my own collection, a vintage plaster (or chalkware) piece. A nude 'exotic' lady dances in the fire at her feet. She's large, standing 17 inches tall.

I love that her arms and hands are raised above her head and in hair, which sort of mirrors the flames.

Her 'skirt' is made of string fringe -- in the photo I twisted it, normally she's modest. *wink*
She was once broken and repaired, near her knees, but other than that she's in lovely shape.
She has no markings for maker, year etc. So I know nothing about her... If you do, please tell. I'd love to find out there is a series of these nude figurines.

Did the loincloth come with the figurine, or did you add it?
It came with the figure, and it seems a bit faded. So either it was made/sold with it, or the owner added it early on. There was no one at the estate sale willing to talk with me about 'the nude piece' other than to discuss payment method lol
Oh, but she's lovely!

Isn't she though? I just love her (paid $75 for her) and would love to find more like her! (But I would hope for a much lower price lol)
