5 3/8 inches Asia Hina Doll seated is most likely an Attendant who would have had a weapon (bow and arrows or sword) but does not come with the weapon(s). These were usually made by artisans in cottage industry during the late Meiji or Tasho Period during early 1900s. Gofun head and hands over wood. Head has wear to paint and face, chip under left eye on cheek, right side of face on 3 places (including where gofun and raw wood of dowel is at). Unusual styling of face, I've not seen before with defined pointy chin. Flesh color face and hands.

Your satisfaction is important to us.  We combine shipping to save you money.  If a listing offers free shipping, this would be for the lower 48 states and we would choose the most cost efficient but safest method of shipping.  The State of Michigan requires that that purchases by Michigan buyers be taxed at Michigan's tax rate.  We combine purchases for shipping to reduce shipping cost to the buyer if items are combined by using Cart option and purchased on the same day since we try to ship with 1 business day.  Return is accepted within 14 days but the buyer pays both shipping to them (buyer) and return to us with tracking and coverage for loss and damage, and item must be received in the condition sent.  If damaged during shipping, contact us immediately and if needed we will assist you in filing a claim.
