A Buddhist or Hindu god or goddess? I don't know any specifics. Maybe Google it?

THANK YOU for the "direction"! .... I was googling and now I am thinking Hindu goddess Lakshmi, wife/companion of Vishnu because she often appears holding a lotus flower ... she often appears with 4 or more arms but not always ... really really really thanks! ... been trying to research her for years and could only think "Siamese" or "Oriental" or "Polynesian" .... HINDU BINGO ...

this is quan yin or kwan yin,female buddha of mercy .
it can be from thailand,japan,china.
if you show the whole pic,it may give more clue.
in recent years a lot of good bronze statues come from thailand.

We think cast iron [magnet sticks] ... she weighs about 11 lbs about 24" tall ... she is standing on a base that is shaped up into flower petals too ...
