I am not prepared to name this figure , but i will point out that as far as i know the Queen of the South Sea is a Javanese mythology. This, i believe is a Balinese keris holder. I'm not sure that such a cross-over exists.  |
Go to whatever the Hotel Bali Beach calls itself these days, and ask

I'm rather surprised that anyone would carve her likeness into a keris stand, though, but it might be the sort of thing someone might sell to surfers. Until one's house washes away, of course.
