Walnut Head Folk Art Doll - 1940's - Nutshell Doll

Dolls : Walnut Head Folk Doll

 

This wonderfully creative hand-made doll is an 8" Folk Art Doll. Her head is created from a walnut. Her face is hand painted on the walnut showing her eyes, nose and mouth. She is dressed in a fabric formed dress of red and white cotton print fabric with an apron of white sheer fabric. She is wearing a head scarf and shawl of coordinating red, white and black cotton fabric. She has gray hair framing her face. She is holding a hand-crafted broom. There is a hand written label paper-clipped to the hem of her dress that reads "Mammy Hickey".

She is in excellent condition. I find no rips, tears or staining of her clothing. Her wonderful walnut face is in good condition also.

She is from the original owner's vintage doll collection and was probably made in the 1940's.
