Long Description

Antique Ivory Asian Woman Laying down - possible medicine doll? Woman is laying on her side I am assuming it it a woman. Measures 7 5/8" L x 2" W x 3 1/4" T. With Gold painted / gilded wooden base. Interested in age and value. Including many photos.  The base measures 9 7/8" L x 3 1/" W x 2 1/8" tall.

I don’t know. I couldn’t find any others just like yours. My guess is the original owners might have purchased it while traveling. Both Burma (now Myanmar) and Thailand have large reclining Buddha statues, so could be from one of those places, just a guess.
