This special doll is called Ruth. She is a very limited edition of 5, she is #4. She was made by artist Heidi Plusczok in 2004. The sculpting and painting is very delicate and detailed, (even her fingers, see picture #12). She has a bisque head, chest, lower arms and lower legs. The rest is cloth that allows for a little posing. Her wig is brown, I\'m not sure what it is made of, possibly human hair, mohair, or a mixture? It is styled in 2 french braids folded up with ribbons and accented with 2 little pink flowers. It appears a little \"fuzzy\", but the braids have not come loose. Her eyes are painted blue. Her pink stripe dress has a Boneka tag and has lovely embroidery on the bodice. Her pantalets and petticoat are white with a fine lace trim. She wears white socks and pink mary-jane shoes There are no visible cracks, chips, missing paint, stains, or odors. I am not her first owner, but I have never undressed her. She is a very pretty little girl.

The stand is not included.

I ship internationally to a few countries using Global Shipping Program only. If you live in country that does not participate in this program, you must have an address in the U.S. for shipping.

I cannot offer layaway since \'s system does not allow for that. However, I think Paypal offers a payment plan.

I accept returns only if I have made a major error in describing the item.

My home is free of smoke and pets.
