This is a 1880's exposed ear china doll made in Germany , she has original body but replaced cloth on arms. She stands 15" tall .There are many qualities in how defined hair is and some have finely detailed ears depending on company that produced them . This one is not the highest quality but a nice example . Alt beck gottschalk co.made some of the more detailed heads .
