I've had this little figurine sitting on my shelf for years too and I just figured out what it is - thanks to chatgpt. It's probably a small tourist copy, but it's kind of cool. It is only 3.25 cm tall. She has an odd hairdo and billowing skirts. I'm not sure what the holes on the side of the base are for. I always thought this was a stopper of some kind, but others have the same hole on the base.
These were excavated in Yokotsuka, Toyoshiro-town, Isesaki-city, Japan.
