SALE Unusual Vintage Ethnic Asian Doll

Collectibles : Dolls, Figures : Ethnic

 

This is one of the interesting older vintage ethnic dolls I currently have available. This fellow is 14" tall. He appears to represent someone from one of the Asian countries.

This doll has arms legs and head made from a molded wood pulp material. These parts are attached by heavy wire to a solid wood torso. The limbs and head are painted a warm brown color. His facial features are detailed in paint, including mustache and blue! eye shadow. He has a top knot of hair formed from wool yarn.

He is wearing a pale turquoise cotton jacket over cream colored pants - possibly linen. The wooden torso is wrapped in white cotton with a band of red felt around the waist.

Condition: There is a scratch through the paint on his forehead. The clothing has some age discoloration. The jacket needs to be stitched closed at the collar - it was undone to examine the body. The wool hair has lost some yarn.

What an interesting gentleman. I wish I knew his origins.
