Modern Creative Kokeshi, 1963, 6-7/8"

• 
• 

NAME: Modern creative Japanese kokeshi

MAKER: Unknown

SIZE: 6-7/8" (17.7cm) not including the bun.

CONDITION: Dent on her upper front portion and several more toward the bottom front. Quite a bit of wood age spotting, especially on the back. Maybe the obi has some fading and blurring but it might also have been made to look that way. Hard to tell. The blue paint of the under kimono that peeks out at the bottom has worn quite a bit. Her bun is on a peg and inserted into the head. It needs a dot of glue. For easier shipping I will not glue it. You will be able to line it up exactly because of the old glue. The rounded part is straight behind the head. It is not straight in the picture as I didn't realize it was loose.

NOTES: Dated on the bottom Sept. 21, 1963. There may have been a signature on the bottom but it has worn off.

Artistic, old and lovely.
