Description: | This child's wooden doll from the early 1800s is dressed in a printed over blouse and flounced skirt. Underneath the skirt are four petticoats and long drawers. The torso is wooden, with limbs made from variously patterned scraps of cotton. The head is also carved from wood and painted with large black eyes, a bright red mouth and rosy cheeks. Real hair forms the wig, which is fastened to a black silk cap and glued to the head.
