Beautiful Antique Carved Doll Torso hanging spoon holder or spiked chainI'm sure I couldn't afford this doll if it still had its carved limbs and head, but I think I might rather have this torso exactly as it is plus, it stands up on its own, making a really wonderful tabletop sculpture. Toward the base are still the nails pins via which the legs would have attached, and around the neck and arm holes still some old paint. Beautiful patina to the dry wood, and to my eye lovely. 7 3 8' t X 3 5 8" d X 2 3 16" d.
