Kokeshi Doll - Flowers of Happiness (XS)

Kokeshi dolls are originally from northern Japan. 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 carved or painted in various colours and covered with a layer of wax.

One characteristic of Kokeshi dolls is their lack of arms or legs.

The bottom is usually marked with the signature of the artist.
