Here we have a marvelous toy in the form of this multi-faced German child by Carl Bergner. This very nice example features a bisque head that rotates to reveal three distinct facial expressions. One face features a happy, smiling expression with set brown glass eyes, an open mouth with molded teeth, another side of the face portrays an unhappy child with wrinkled brows, a downturned open/closed mouth and molded tears, while a third face portrays a serene, sleeping expression with closed eyes and a closed mouth.
The head is covered by a composition hood, over which is placed a cotton bonnet and the head can be turned by a brass loop at the top of head.
Her body features a cloth covered torso, cloth upper legs and jointed composition arms and lower legs. A fuctioning squeaker is activated with string pull mechanism at her waist.
She wears a fine cotton dress with an inset lace panel down the front and a short, pink wool coat. Antique cotton underthings, silky cream stockings and artist-made dove grey leather shoes complete her presentation.
Measures 15” tall.
