This is an amazing home made black boy doll with the sweetest face, the best posture and corn cob legs. He feels like he has a solid wood inner core. I bet the maker of this boy was pleased as punch to find a good use for a couple of old corn cobs. His face is finely embroidered and has a contoured brow and cheeks, a raised nose, jet bead eyes, embroidered eyebrows, whites of eyes, nose and mouth with teeth. He has raveled yarn hair that is wonderful and it really suits him. His hands are stitched defined with fingers. He is missing one of the black pieces of wood that attach to the bottom of the corncobs to form feet. His clothes look to be original and made for him. He is a great folk art boy doll with so much going for him. 16" tall, C. 1890
