Wallendorf made some really stunning art deco lady figures . Some more elaborate than others . Yours sure looks like a archery pose as and they did do some figures in sports , volleyball. skating ect . Very nice . Hopefully you will get a name for her as they did so many figures :-) here is volleyball lady or a sport of some sort . They did many as dancers also so yours could be a dance pose also ?

Manikin, thank you very much for the info, really appreciate it. My figurine is in perfect condition, but miss her bow. It is really hard to find any useful information about this one.
Your welcome The bow on photo almost looks like it was made of thin wood ? If that is case you could make one .
i thought she was a mime! looks like... an archer! Robin Hood!
