Grodner Tal German Wooden Doll
This wooden doll from the Grodner Tal of Bavaria dates from the 1820s. Her carved hair has the classic tuck comb. Unlike
most tuck combs which are painted yellow this one is painted gold. She also has many painted curls. She is unique with her
original earrings and necklace. Her body is peg wooden with ball jointed hips. Not the peg jointing of the shoulders allowing
movement in two planes without a ball joint. Her early cotton gown has the characteristic V bodice of this time period. She is
12 inches tall.
