Sendai Doll 9-1/2"
Sold
In the book, "Kokeshi Wooden Treasures of Japan", the authors refer to this doll as the Sendai doll. It is an offshoot of one of the 10 traditional kokeshi families or strains but not "officially" recognized. Having many characteristic traits of the traditional kokeshi, what makes them unique is the carved designs in the wood. The light areas seen on the torso are carved out. This doll is 9-1/2" tall, has a base diameter of 2-3/4" and a 4" head diameter. It weighs in at 1 pound 6-1/2 ounces. Few minor dents. Signed and stamped on the bottom. Great doll!
