Vintage Hand Crafted Folk Art Wooden Doll. Measures 8 1/2" in height. Excellent condition.
This eight-and-a-half-inch hand-crafted doll is a soulful example of traditional folk artistry. Carved from a single piece of solid wood, the figure exhibits the intentional, tactile marks of its maker, featuring a smooth finish that highlights the natural beauty of the grain. The doll is dressed in simple, artisanal garments made from textured textiles, and its delicate facial features are carefully hand-applied, giving each piece a unique, one-of-a-kind personality that cannot be replicated by mass production.
As a "scholarly curiosity," this doll serves as a grounding element for a bookshelf or a collection of world heritage crafts. It fits seamlessly into a Dark Academia or rustic-inspired interior, offering a sense of "found-history" and handmade warmth. The doll is in excellent condition, with both the wood and the fabric elements remarkably well-preserved. It is a soulful find for collectors of folk art dolls or those looking to add a touch of authentic, global-inspired craftsmanship to their home.
