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 them. They know who she is, all right

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.
