This is an antique hand carved wooden lady doll. I was told when I bought her that she was part of the Strong collection. Her dress was in tatters and could not be saved. I sent her to an expert who fashioned this dress for her. He chose a Spanish theme as it was thought this was her origin. Her dress is sewn on, so without cutting it, I cannot show her body, but please know she was likely once made for the church, as I remember two places in her back where wings may once have been attached. She has a wonderful wooden body, jointed at the hips, knees, elbows and shoulders, and stands 25” tall. Her hair is beautifully carved,as can be seen. She has inset glass eyes. As you can see, she has had some facial paint touch up, but expertly done. Her only issue is her left leg. The peg that inserts into her hip is intact, but needs to be glued, and her foot, which is shown, also needs to be glued. My asking price is less than what I have invested in her, but am moving to a smaller house and need a home for this bigger lady.
