A very unusual doll or figure, made from a split cedar knee (I Think) and copper for the head, all manner of cloth, and coins, buttons, objects from different countries, a cabinet door pull, among other things. The copper head is wrapped in black yarn, and her face is lookimg down to the ground lookimg for anything of interest, to use in her spell, or incantations. The story goes that handsome jack told her if she would make him rich he would marry her. So she did, and when she showed up in her wedding dress, he said "Oh no Marie, you are too ugly for a rich man like me!" So Marie did one of her spells, and Jack disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again. This doll came from a collection of black memorabilia, collected by a man who traveled extensively and left this collection to his daughter. The figure is 23 inches tall, 8 inches wide, and weighs at least 5 pounds. I am a dealer of 15 years, located in the same building, and well known in my community. Thank you for shopping in the land of Enchantment.
