Description from the seller

Beautiful and antique bisque-headed doll with head, shoulder, and arms, from around 1870. The head has no glazing marks, and it has a tiny notch at the back of the neckline where the two parts are joined… see the photos… and it is as small as a pinhead. The body is original to it, as are the silk clothes. The body, made of goatskin leather, is worn and needs a little glue or stitching to the limbs… The stuffing is straw… Movable eyes, a closed mouth, mohair wig, and the cap is the original papier-mâché headcap.
