Quantity Available: 1
Inventory Number: 72345
NAME: Modern creative Japanese kokeshi with butterflies
MAKER: Not signed
SIZE: 15-3/8" (39cm)
CONDITION: Good. The hair was set a little off-center. Small dark spot on the back is a wood flaw.
NOTES: This is one of several interesting dolls purchased from one place. My feeling is that they were not made necessarily by "professional" kokeshi artist but artists just the same. The dolls are not signed but the artistry is detailed and fine.
All of the design is done burnt wood style, including the hair (front half) in unusual patterns. The background color is a burnt orange. The head looks like it's made from keyaki or Japanese zelkova. Can't tell about the rest but she is heavy. There is no wax or varnish finish.
Shipping will be at the 5 pound rate.
