such as these from Transportes del Norte

I really love the honesty and directness of these

Fine Hand-painted Japanese Composition Doll skillful carving such as these from TransportesI am not entirely certain if this doll is vintage or antique, but would think sometime 1920s 40s, and I think she is so lovely. Her head, forearms and lower legs are composition, sewn to a cloth torso which seems to be stuffed with sawdust, as there seems to be a tiny hole somewhere from which a tiny bit of it has come out. Some staining to her top and a little wear to the top of the arms, but overall very good condition, with braided hair on the top
