Composed of stuffed fabric and below five inches tall, these unusual dolls are painstakingly detailed, with hand-sewn facial features, hair, and lifelike costumes, down to tiny handmade leather shoes. With their evocative forms and remarkable craftsmanship, the pair stand as American folk art at its best.

Each held by a custom stand (unattached to body).
