Folk art carved articulated female figure
Seller from Alabama and acquired it from an estate that had it for many years. Said
to have had a dress at one time and the right hand is said to have held
a pole that was in a butter churn. Would guess the age at about 1900.
13 inches tall in the sitting position.

Folk art carved articulated figure / jig doll
Nicely complete articulated figure that is 12 inches tall. Unique form with wooden pegs connecting the joints and hollowed out sides to accommodate the arms. Has a metal bracket on the top of the head which presumably was to hang the figure to make it dance.

Folk art, carved, articulated limberjack.
9.5 inches tall with an unusual body and face. The Anonymous Works' site that lists parts of the collection for sale has a 19th Century picture of a carver that has the same style of carvings as this little guy - definitely the same carver of this limberjack.
