Although certainly not a rare mold number, this 17” ( 43cm ) tall shoulder head doll incised “ Armand Marseilles 370 Germany “, deserves respect and admiration for the elaborate traditional region costume she sports, obviously on the way to the village center for a community/regional celebration of some sort. The floral headband that grasps the original antique mohair wig had multicolored silk ribbon streamers attached all around descending to near-knee level. Even the undergarments have been given special attention and fancy frilly designs despite the obvious fact that are concealed by the clothing. Although again totally hidden by the clothing, her body is covered in places by cloth but in others by a white canvas with hinge joints at hips and knees, and painted composition forearms. Although we cannot specifically state the European area her clothing represents, we admire the workmanship of the dollmakers who originally produced her. …………………US$ 225.
