Sweet Little Wax with Moulded Hat

This is such a lovely little doll and has to be one of my favorites. Measuring just under 9" tall. She has a sweet face which is composition with a very fine coating of wax over. So unusual to have a moulded and painted hat with feather trim in such a tiny tiny doll! Inset fixed early brown glass eyes and painted rosebud mouth, and blond hair. The body is extremely unusual in it`s construction and appears to be mostly moulded composition with cloth inserts (similar to a Motschmann type). The dress and full set of underwear is totally original and has never been removed. Obviously I have not removed the layers of original clothes so can only feel the body shape through the underwear, and it seems to be wax over head and shoulderplate, onto a short stuffed section then tummy to thighs in one shaped composition section, cloth inserts to give movement at the knees, then gorgeous moulded flat boots with painted buttons at the end of moulded composition legs with painted red garters.
