Stuff
Oh one of the Holy Grail of dolls . You have a Door of Hope Mission Chinese doll.The Door of Hope, a protestant mission, was created in Shanghai or Canton, China in 1901 to help destitute children. These dolls are very sought after and carry a high value . Keep it out of light . It is made of carved Chinese pearwood. Date 1900-1949 . Fabulous ! Take good care of her and handle clothes very little .
I can't see hairdo but I believe she is Amah ( Nursemaid-Nanny )
They have decreased a bit in value but here is one and not as nice as yours . Yours is caring the child that she is taking care of. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-034-A-Door-of-Hope-034-Chinese-Doll-/223813746991?hash=item341c56c12f%3Ag%3Anc0AAOSw1Bxd5YI-&nma=true&si=6CdnxO45t3losm1%252BG9BJnc4cfq4%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Thank you so so much for this information. You all are
Allowing me to sleep at night trying to figure this out.
My mom seemed to know this about items but forgot to tell us. I have a box of dolls that I still need to figure out.
Your welcome and happy to help you anytime :-)
