Description

A wooden doll with a round flat head carved from a thick branch. The bark texture of the branch has been left on the head portion of the doll, which has a wide slit for a mouth and a slit on either side of the head for eyes. Sections of the body have been blackened to create the impression of arms and clothing in the form of an open shirt and shorts. The legs have been individually carved and the buttocks and hem of the shirt have been carved at the back.
