2 Antique Primitive Dolls Made Of Scraps Of Wood & Cloth
Item History & Price
Here are 2 old dolls with hand painted faces, made of wood and scraps of cloth. They home made - folk art in the truest sense - things made for use out of necessity from available scraps ready to hand. The doll with the black bowl cut hair has pieces of arms and legs remaining - they look like bits of rubber. This doll has a cloth tunic and pants underneath. The dolls are about 3 inches high the wood on the doll with the paler features is splitting in half, and the back of ...the head is quite worn. The clothing is soiled with holes and unraveling edges. I suspect that they were made by a child, likely in the early 1900's or the early 1920's at the latest. They are by any definition in poor condition, but they have presense and are a personal link with the past.
