21" German low brow china head (top of head to bottom of plate 5.5", plate shoulder-to-shoulder is 6", head circumference is 11") with partially exposed ears, great face coloring with blushed cheeks, painted blue accented eyes, black hair, head has no chips, cracks, or hairlines. The head all over excellent and is well seated under the bodice torso, feels a bit loose underneath as the glue has likely dried out. The oilcloth type body & limbs is in very good condition with no rips, holes or repairs, no leaking. Lower crude composition arms show red accent lines with right thumb missing, bottom of fingertips missing, left hand has the same. Her hip joints work well but her knee joints seem stiff and I did not want to force them to bend. She wears a newer 1950's home made burgundy taffeta dress trimmed in white lace & ribbon.....nicely made....with ivory petticoat & matching bloomers trimmed in lace. Buyer pays shipping, I accept Paypal.
