Dear Alan and Kei Thank you all for your help.
I spent a lot of time reviewing this statue again.
First of all the exact weight is 66.5 kg
Dimensions: the base 38*28 cm
Height 66 cm
For sure not a cast . the dots could be removed easily
My guess is that a water runoff caused a limestone accumulation this could explain the small dots on the surface.
This statue is made of a black stone.
Anyway the best would be to show it to a specialist but with this weight it is not easy to transport !
Best
