OT: Ethnographic carved female from were?

If this post isn't appropriate just scold me and I won't do it again. The boardees on another well-known site seem to be stumped (n.p.i.) by this carved wooden female statue. Maybe someone here can help them out. Is it Micronesian or what?

You are welcome to post directly on the other board if you are a member there, or here if not, and I can link back to this thread for them.

ALL I CAN DO IS GUESS FIRST GUESS AN OLDER PIECE FROM HATI, SECOND GUESS SOMEWHERE IN AFRICA. I MOSTLY BASE THIS ON CARVING STYLE AND TECKNIQUE, MY CARVINGS FROM THOSE AREAS MOST CLOSLY RESEMBLE THE CARVING IN QUESTION. I WONDER WHAT IT WAS USED FOR ITS UNUSUAL FOR A CARVING TO BE HOLLOW UNLESS IT IS SMALL AND PART OF SOME LARGER ITEM. GOOD LUCK
