A pair of Japanese vintage, Hina matsuri musician dolls, (two of original set of five). These were part of a very fine set of dolls with brocade costumes and gold kin-ran (gold thread) and gofun (oyster paste heads and hands) and glass or crystal inlaid eyes, and organic possibly horse hair.

Unfortunately the taller doll has a serious patch of gofun missing from his forehead. 

This doll may be a candidate in a collection for a brave doll lover who has a tender hand for repair.

I ship within three to four days from payment and sometimes same day if post office is open.

Thanks for Antiquing on my eBay page, happy collecting! Cesca
