Vintage Home Decor Associates Praying Hands - Hand Cast / Painted, Very Detailed

Description

Very beautiful and ornate piece from "Home Decor Associates" out of Lodi, New Jersey.  Hand crafted and hand painted.  Not sure of the year but the sticker font on the bottom looks pre 80s.
Condition-wise there's no cracks or chips etc that I can see.  I'm not positive if the paint is worn in the darker places or if that is by design.
Solid piece at just over 2 pounds and just over 9 inches from base to fingertip.  Not sure on the material - not metal or ceramic.  Maybe wood or clay?
