This is a hand carved black male doll. Everything on him is original in good condition. It looks like it's from the 18th century period. He could have been a slave on a plantation.

Your photo is not real clear how tall is he . He appears to be one of the family of "Daddy Long Legs dolls by Karen Germany From Texas . Can you do a face close up . I am fairly sure he is one of her dolls she created by photo you have posted .
Her goal as a designer is to create artwork that makes the collector smile and characters that make you think of someone special. Since 1985, Karen has designed each of these unique collectible dolls.Realizing t was a void in the gift industry for good quality ethnic products, Karen developed Daddy's Long Legs dolls into a predominately African-American collection. This unique family of dolls quenched the thirst of many collectors for over eighteen years.
The company has retired Daddy's Long Legs® collection in July of 2003 I believe it started in 1997 or there abouts .
I meant it started in about 1995 took off more around 1997
