About the Item

They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face. The body has a floral design painted in red, black, and sometimes yellow, and covered with a layer of wax. One characteristic of kokeshi dolls is their lack of arms or legs. The bottom is typically marked with the signature of the artist. Dimensions: D18 cm -h76 cm. D9 cm -h 31 cm. D7 cm - h25 cm.
