Folk Art Dolls 6, 7, and 8 | 2024

Dolls 6, 7 and 8 are likely the last dolls in this style for some time. Each of these dolls has a simple joint structure and a carved wooden head that is fitted to the toros as a wood plug. The snug fit allows the heat to rotate.

Doll 6 is inspired by a gentlemanly british officer of the 18th century. He totes a powdered wig and a sword rather than a rifle and shotpouch. The head is tilted back slightly, giving him a look of superiority when viewed.
