Japanese Carved Wood Figure of a Young girl, Kokeshi doll style, C20th
This is a rather charming carved wood figure of a young girl standing dressed in an elaborate robe decorated with floral blooms and fan shape panels in blue with floral designs. She holds something in her hands (an offering?) and looks out expectantly. The naif style resembles closely the kokeshi dolls that have been made in Japan for more than 150 years as children's toys but the portrayal is much more lifelike than that of its abstract counterparts. Dating is probably to the mid twentieth century.Size: | Ht 25.5cm, Width (max) 12cm, Depth (max) 9cm, Base 12cm x 9cm |
