A 19th C carved figure that is believed to be originally from Quebec, Canada since it was acquired a few years ago from a folk art dealer who resided in Boucherville, Quebec. Interestingly short arms with finger details. No signs of this having been a jig doll, but considerable signs of use/play. 11 inches tall.
