Found this sculpture at my home in Mexico, Does anybody have an idea what it's called? Type of art? Is it bronze? Maybe value? It has no signature and it's kind of heavy. Any info is appreciated.

Interesting piece, but unfortunately without more info most people will be unable to tell the material from a photo.
When you flick at it with your fingers does it make a noise? What kind of nose does it make--does it ping--could be a metal? Does it ring, could be a ceramic/porcelain? Thud? Could be something filled with sand/concrete to make it heavy.
Does it have any chips that you could feel to see what they feel like (i.e. smooth, porous, chalky).
This piece is best examined by someone in person so they can get the full feel and heft of it.
The style of art is commonly referred to as folk art. The face does not look like it is Mexican...so that part is a bit puzzling if you say you found it in Mexico. It could be a tourist import from another country.
Are you asking to sell? You can always just try it as a 7 day auction. The title could be something like Folk Art Reclining Woman Girl Green Dress and Hat. Start it for the amount you would like to make and let the market dictate final value.
Post back what you learn if you take it to a shop for investigation! Thanks for sharing!
You can scratch the sculpture in an inconspicuous spot. If a yellowish tint appears, it is bronze
