ht maybe it was older than it is because there is a tag saying made in Thailand. Very difficult to find one like it although there is one on 1st dibs which I think they're calling a bronze. It is probably not worth what I thought it was haha. Thank you very much I appreciate any and all input.

Thank you for finding that Orphie. I came across it but it would not open for me. I may be wrong but I think it is the same statue. The bottom on this one is covering up the hollow cast inside which means it is spelter as well. At least I get an idea of value. I appreciate your help.

It has to be from 1940 or later as Thailand was Siam before that year.

The Book of 2nd Chronicles chapter 9
The Queen of Sheba
9:1 When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. Arriving with a very great caravan--with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones--she came to Solomon and talked with him about all she had on her mind.
