I think I will put this one back together today. She has an interesting all wood torso and head, no the head does not have details pressed of gesso or composition it is carved wood through out. There is a hole ( original) through the shoulder part, where we have used a cloth tube to hold the wooden arms Jack made and I made cloth pantaletts to gather around the doll's waist to hold the wooden legs he carved. I believe the head with torso to be German and date about 1835. She was smoke and fire damaged in our house fire.
