Elder Lady Signed Character Doll w/ Apron Great Face Artisan Dollhouse Miniature

Description

Delightful, detailed artisan-made doll with brown eyes & grey hair swept up into a bun.
This doll appears to be sculpted from fimo (or similar) clay, so not cast, but one-of-a-kind.
Her face has an amazing degree of detail and character, complete with signs of her advanced age, as well as her extreme merriment.
This doll is dressed in a sweet yellow cotton print dress, complete with a white apron, both trimmed with white lace.
She has a white petticoat and white pantaloons underneath, both trimmed with white lace.
Her white high boots are both sculpted into her legs and painted on.
Her head, hands, and feet / lower legs are sculpted from clay to provide incredible detail. Her head is jointed at the neck but appears to be glued into her dress and bust, so that it cannot turn. Her upper arms are cloth covered wire, so you can bend her arms for pose-ability. Her upper legs are also cloth covered wire, so you can bend them; she can be posed in a seated position, but her dress is a little stiff for this to look natural.
She does not come with a doll stand, as her flat shoes and long skirt allow her to stand unassisted.
She is signed on one foot. I believe it reads "Marger" (but I can't be certain). Her other foot is numbered to indicate that she is part of a very limited series, "9 of 20," and is dated 1996.
