I bet her kitchen smells like homemade bread and biscuits.
This doll lets you know she is strong and capable and isn't afraid of work. I love that she has big hands formed as a fist with fingers and thumb. Her shoes are also big and sturdy also. The carving is bold and yet touching. She is a great example of the 1920-30's woman farmsteading, likely in Appalachian Mountains.
She is 21" tall, carved from heavy hard wood and jointed with screws at the hips and shoulders.
She is C. 1920-30
