    Stunning Meiji period Japanese doll in a glass presentation case. The doll is made from gofun which is crushed oyster shell and has real human hair and glass eyes, she is dressed in an elaborately embroidered silk kimono and carries a paper parasol. I had the doll appraised at an auction house in London who told me it was from the Meiji period late 19th early 20th century.
