Folk art carved limberjack / jig doll

A big one, tall and lanky - 13 inches tall.  Though he's lost his hands somewhere along the way, he has a very well carved, expressive face.

Folk art carved limberjack / jig doll

8.5 inches tall, fully complete with a great patina.  You can see subtle color where there were eyes and hair drawn or painted long ago.  Interesting detail to the shoulders that are hollowed out, the hip joint that is open in the front but closed in the back and the feet that have wire along the top edge - maybe as reinforcement?
