Aida_Seihou
Age:1960
Descriptive qualities& condition:
Dimensions: 10-0”h
This expressively carved and wooden figure is representing a new and rebellious era with a rather modern “Mage” type hair style with bangs. Her slanted eyes show her challenge to society’s standards. The doll’s elongated neck emphasizes the expressive head and face and terminates into the contemporary interpretation of the kimono, stylized to appear quite modern through its simplicity with an accent on the darker contrasting wood. The piece is unsigned but is fashioned like Aida’s other dolls of this type.
Condition: Excellent, pristine original condition, archival quality because of the uniqueness of the doll.
