EARLY ANTIQUE ORIGINAL JAPANESE DOLL WITH SILK KIMONO and OBI. Beautiful, authentic! This is from an ESTATE of a lady who spent a lifetime collecting dolls from all of her travels around the world. The doll is handmade and the face is HANDPAINTED. The eyes are delicately set in from the face itself, and her hair may have been individually hand glued, giving the doll a more realistic image. Her hands and feet are delicately fashioned. She is dressed in a Tangerine Floral SILK kimono with yellow and pink silk trim around the kimono sleeves, etc. The kimono lining is pink silk. The lining does have a stain, the origin of which I am unaware. Her obi is a deeper Coral with Gold silk topped by beautiful Fuscia and white. Around her neck tucked gently under her kimono, silk is visibly crisscrossed. The body of the doll is soft. Its face, hands and feet have been dipped in ivory, while under her kimono her torso seems to be a brown composite. Each of its arms and legs moves independently. Under her kimono skirt is a slip of paper on which is stamped and overstamped "MADE IN JAPAN." This paper slip also has a red round STAMP with Japanese writing on it. She is about 13 1/2" tall. For its age, it is in EXCELLENT condition, and is without paint loss. It does have tiny chips on her lip and right heel, along with a hairline crack w the two halves
