Bronze Wall Plaque - Fishing Goddess

Fishing Goddess decoration on Bronze Plaque
I found this bronze wall plaque at a garage sale years ago it measures 19 inch by 10 and 3/4 inches and the decorative detail is magnificent.
The picture is of a woman with fabric tied at the waist and chest exposed (top of fabric fluttering in the wind). She is holding a fishing net over her shoulder.
She has almost every type of sea life (her catch) surrounding her. A dragon fly above her head, fish in one hand and a net in the other spilling fish out.
A crocodile is lurking at her feet, alongside lobster and sea snail. One of her knees is kneeling on a rock surrounded with sea grasses and barnacles.
This is one of my favorite finds and I am not interested in selling it, but would like to find out its history.
If you have any ideas, please comment.
Wendy.
