Lot 4129

A large repair has been made to the lower half of the body of the larger bush doll. Glue is apparent on the outside of the figure. The lower portion of the figure remains unstable. The second bush doll shows a detached arm. There is a fair amount of cracking throughout both works, resulting in multiple areas of paint loss. Both works are fragile and should be handled with care.
