Take some Ajax cleanser to it with an old toothbrush it’ll look good as new in no time. Then a couple coats of clear varnish’ll keep it from getting all dark like that again.
And you might have to epoxy glue the feet to a base of some kind to get to stand on the shelf next to the Avon bottles.
If properly done it’ll turn out better looking than one of those Venus statues with a clock in her stomach.

I think there is a lot of really old stuff in Turkey.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure its all over the place there.
