This is a hand made Chinese cultural doll from my grandmother's doll collection. Given comps, I believe it was most likely handcrafted in China before 1940.
It is stamped "China" on the bottoms of his feet.
He measures approx 7" tall.
I believe that it has a composition head, lower arms & lower legs that are attached to sturdy torsos. His upper arms and thighs are wire jointed, so they can somewhat pose.
He wears Chinese styled clothing and has a long black braid. See photos.
His is in good condition considering his age. I can find no obvious defects other than some wear, most notably a hole, in his clothing.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for more photos or with questions.
