      Would love to see close up of face and joints on arms or legs . Very nice example of a hand carved doll . Love it
    2. powdermonkie, 9 years ago
      Thanks.Its seems to have arms and legs that dont bend.The material seems to be course cotton.Like butternut cloth they used in the south during the civil war. Any idea of the age of the doll?Thanks
    3. Manikin Manikin, 9 years ago
      I would need to see more of dolls details like body , does cotton have seeds in it ? Can't see face clear and eye painting but appears to 1890-1920 era . But again really have to hold it to know for sure . Can you do a close up of face
    4. powdermonkie, 9 years ago
      Sure I'll get another photo of the face.Thanks
