Description:

Hand-Carved doll Tom Sawyer wood & cloth, signed TAG. TOM SAWYER has a hand-carved wooden head with quite impish expression. The wrist-tag is printed: “An Original // Avis Lee // DOLL”, hand-written & signed by the artist on the back: ‘“TOM SAWYER” // The lovable character from Mark Twain’s immortal story “Tom Sawyer” // Avis Lee // Chicago’. Tom’s face is hand-painted with black wide-open eyes, freckles, ruddy nose and cheeks and smiling mouth – his little carved ears are even tipped with red (sunburn!); hair is yellow cotton yarn. The cloth body has mitten hands – the left holding his big paintbrush full of white-wash, also hand-carved! His legs are long and hes outgrowing his pants, which have a patched knee and a lot of white-wash splatter. His polka-dot shirt has a sailor collar and he wears red suspenders, a jaunty cap with visor and tassel, feet are shod in brown felt ankle-boots
