Description:This early doll has a wooden head and jointed body, with leather arms. The head and body are made from one piece of wood, turned on a lathe and then carved. Wooden dolls like this, made in the 18th century, are sometimes called 'Queen Anne Dolls' - although Queen Anne died in 1714. This doll is wearing its original silk quilted petticoat (skirt), yellow silk open robe, and turban. It was probably made in England.
