Beautifully Aged Antique Relief Carved, Painted Figure doll paint and a few are now

and a few are now held on with old pins rather than stitches

and a super useful one

where it looks like a man or woman is minding his dog or big chicken

Beautifully Aged Antique Relief Carved, Painted Figure doll paint and a few are nowThis is one of my favorite carved figure I've found, and I like it more and more the more I look at it. I don't know much at all about it, which I purchased from a dealer with many wonderful and eclectic things, who thought it European, but didn't know much more than that. I would guess the figure represents a saint of some sort, seated and with hands clasped before him, with remnants of paint still covering parts of his body, and layers of color
