Arctic Folk Doll with Wooden Face, 9 cm

Small Arctic-style folk doll with a painted wooden face, black textile clothing, decorative green-and-white woven trim, and soft pale fur-like edging around the hood and cuffs.

The figure has a distinctive northern folk-art appearance. Its round wooden face is painted with black hair, closed eyes, and a small red mouth, while the body is dressed in black fabric with patterned textile details. The fluffy trim gives the doll a traditional cold-weather parka look.

The exact maker, country of origin, and production date are unknown. No maker’s label or identifying mark is visible, so the piece is described according to its visible construction and style rather than attributed to a specific Indigenous group or region.
