swivel head on kid-edged bisque shoulder plate,
dark cobalt blue glass enamel inset eyes, painted
eyeliner and delicate lashes, lightly arched
brows, accented nostrils and eye corners, closed

Her original white/blonde mohair wig is arranged

long curls. The doll has French kid fashion body
with shapely torso, padded bosom, gusset jointing

preserved the doll, costume and wig in its
pristine original state. Barrois, circa 1865.
