5" Hawaiian Table Leg Wooden Replica Benefit Doll Mission House Museum Honolulu

Description

"Table Leg Doll" is a 5" solid wood "stump" styled reproduction doll that was "Made especially for the Mission Houses Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii."  She appears to be a contemporary "benefit" piece, though I do not know if such dolls are sold any longer at that Museum.  Included with the doll is a history of her origins that date back to 1836 when missionary Lorrin Andrews handmade such a doll from a wooden table leg for his daughter Sarah Andrews.   The original doll resides in the collection of the Mission Houses Museum.
