It's a Witco "Melanesian Female" from the early 60s, judging by the subdued colors (though that could be dust). She usually came together with a "Melanesian Male", and mostly on a floral background. In 1964 she cost 50.- bucks.
Not the best carving (Witcos were carved conveyerbelt style on marked wood, but each differed slightly depending on how the employee waved the chainsaw), that un-round bump on her chest is supposed to be her breast, but I like her face.
I would buy her if for sale.
