Description
White cloth doll with carved and painted wooden head; a rarity in wood and cloth. This appears to be a piece of home-crafted folk art, by a joint effort of carver and sewer. Doll has an expressive carved head with an early painted surface and a cloth body dressed in appealing original layers of textile clothing. Blue calico is the favorite of many enthusiasts and she also has a set of nice undergarments. Hat is doubtfully original, but is a good, period appropriate addition. American, 3rd-4th quarters 19th century. H 20". Please refer to this link for high-res images. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xdsg40eepyowkwr/AABM8RKpVlspQiOPlPDLrz7va?dl=0
