I decided to turn this unknown women saint into Saint Mary Magdaline.

Generally, statues of saints hold or wear symbolic items that help represent those saints.

In the case of this model the right hand was missing.  It was probably holding an identifying item.  After looking at other identifying articles on this particular female saint model, such as her turban, her long curly hair, and the bible she is holding, it was not a stretch to conclude that she could have been a model of Mary Magdaline.  I added an alabaster jar to her repaired right hand.  The alabaster jar is traditionally a symbol/item associated with Mary Magdaline in statutes and images.
