Black Doll with Sculpted Head

Black Doll with Sculpted Head

Nineteen inches tall, this early 20th century black doll is truly one of a kind. She has an unusual “sculpted” head that’s very heavy and completely out of proportion with the rest of her body — not an uncommon feature in early hand-made rag dolls. She has embroidered features, a caracul wig for hair, small turned out feet, and beautifully made clothing that appears to be original. A great auction find!
