5" (13 cm.) A paper mache doll is posed in curious manner with one arm at her side and the other held over her head, having painted hair and facial features, and wooden one piece body that is "costumed" in applied sea shells. Good condition. Circa 1860, the simple shell doll has an appealing patina and pose.
