I found something unusual again. I think this is a wooden folk art piece from Jalisco Mexico because of the hat and dress. It may be from Guatemala. Anyone know for sure? I have never seen anything like it before. Any ideas are greatly appreciated

I've seen them. Pretty common in the tourist markets. I wouldn't call it folk art. They're made in little cottage industry fabricas. Jalisco style for sure but not necessarily made there. Usually not signed but sometimes they'll have initials on the back.
