Evocative Old Hand-sewn Doll Body with Wooden Arms and Many Mends

Evocative Old Hand-sewn Doll Body with Wooden Arms and Many Mends

$65.00

I just couldn't resist this one, who lost her head (I believe likely a Minerva-type German tin one) along the way but which I find all the better without one. I just love the patchwork of grain sack bust giving way to carved wooden arms, pink abdomen, plaid underwear of sorts, and blue/purple stocking legs, embroidered with what look like mushrooms or umbrellas or arrows down the side. Plus all sorts of mends and reinforcements. Quite a thing! Early 20th century I believe.

18” t x 7” w at shoulders. Very sound and stable now, tightly stuffed and not shedding a bit.
