Hello,
We were hoping someone would be able to recognize the backstamp on this figurine of a woman with what appears to be an alphorn.
Thanks for looking:

I might be totally missing the boat and it’s not an ID, but I get a Russian/East German vibe from the mark, form and decorating style. Maybe circa the late 50s to 70s?

The thing that she's blowing into looks like a didgeridoo. Which doesn't fit with her costume at all.
