The doll has a striking, slightly more expressive face than typical examples, with defined brows, small red lips, and a softly worn patina that adds real character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"401\" data-end=\"777\"\u003eThe body is a traditional wooden peg form with simple articulated arms. The costume combines a wrapped textile to the bodice with a skirt formed from layered paper.. Additional applied elements, including green paper “leaves” and a delicate headpiece, give the figure a whimsical, almost theatrical or fairy-like quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"1076\"\u003eThis is a strong folk art piece with genuine age and individuality. The use of fragile materials and handmade construction suggests it may have been created for play or decorative use, and it now sits perfectly within collections of early dolls, paper ephemera, or cabinet-of-curiosity displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1305\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1090\"\u003eGood antique condition with age-related wear.
