AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Charming antique doll, perhaps from the 1910s, likely a marionette doll. The doll has eyes that open and close and wooden legs. The torso is stuffed with sawdust, wrapped in fabric. There is a small dent on the right cheek. Metal rings are attached to the arms and legs, which is typical for marionettes. Given the characteristics and construction, it is likely that this is an old marionette doll. The face is hand-painted. The condition is used, in fairly good condition.
Can be picked up as well as sent.
