Hand carved and turned from wood with traditional articulated peg jointing, the doll retains its original painted finish, showing gentle, honest surface wear that speaks to its long history. It is dressed in its original, unrestored early 19th century layered garments, featuring a vibrant red underskirt with braided trim beneath a heavily worn ochre shawl with authentic, age related fraying. Preserved in a 19th century glass display dome, this dignified piece of early folk art is a rare survivor indeed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition is decent, commensurate with age and use.
