Subject:Chinese Doll
Posted By: Brian Okabayashi Wed, Aug 25, 2010 IP: 96.229.61.164 This item was listed at a local estate sale as a late 19th Century Chinese opera puppet. Any ideas?

Posted By: Bill H Sun, Aug 29, 2010 I've always presumed from the condition of the example I own that it probably dates to the late 19th or early 20th century but have never verified its age with any serious study.
