Large Handmade Doll, Paper Mache. She measures about 25". Hands, feet and head appear to be made from paper mache. Note there are stick pins scattered throughout and holding her hair on. She's in good condition with slight cracking at the feet and slight staining on clothes.
Add a unique piece of traditional craftsmanship to your collection with this large handmade paper mache doll. Measuring 25 inches in height, this impressive figure features a head, hands, and feet skillfully crafted from paper mache and finished with hand-painted details, including bright blue eyes and soft rosy cheeks. She is dressed in a charming cottage-style outfit consisting of a floral-print dress layered under a white eyelet lace pinafore and matching bloomers.
The doll’s striking black hair is made from thick yarn, which is uniquely secured with several exposed stick pins throughout the head—a common technique in primitive and folk-art doll making that adds to her handcrafted character. Her oversized pink shoes are also molded from paper mache and finished with delicate ribbon ties. This doll is an excellent find for those who appreciate one-of-a-kind folk art, primitive Americana, or large-scale display dolls for a nursery or guest room.
This item is vintage, over 30 years old. While it appears to be in the good condition stated, please note that the hair is held on by scattered stick pins, there is slight cracking at the feet, and minor staining on the clothes as shown. There is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
