Large vintage Japanese kokeshi doll, crafted in the 'sashikomi' style, in which the head and torso are shaped separately and joined with a peg. The doll is handmade from solid wood, adorned with traditional red and black painted details. The piece features a smooth, cylindrical body decorated with vibrant red floral patterns, complemented by a rounded head with a serene, hand-painted face. This design exemplifies the artistry of Japanese folk crafts, reflecting the cultural heritage of kokeshi dolls. A shell-shaped silk pendant and bell adorn the doll.
