Looks kind of like brass, it is metal isn't it? Any markings on it, how tall. China is producing a lot of "antiques" these days. Lot of pottery but once you pick it up it is cheaply made. More info would be helpful, is the ringer in it?

I think it's India brass - like the wares found in Pier 1, etc. Could be a few years old; could have been made last week.

Google the images for India brass bell in form of a lady and see many very similar pieces.
