The
time has come
For the Witches dance
And the spooks from far and near
Will gather and make merry
For Halloween is here
This
is an extremely, extremely old looking primitive witch doll.
She is secured to an old wood base that is cracked and has it's
original paint. She is made from muslin. Her face has
been bonded to the fabric. Her arms have been pinned on and
the poem has been bonded to grungy paper and applied to the front
of her body.

Her hair is
painted and stained drapery cord. It has been sewn to her
hat, and the hat sewn to her head.
Around the bottom
fabric of the old witch, it has a dark soot look. The base
is very heavy.
One of her arms
is stained gauze sewn together, with rusty pins and bells for her
hands.
The other arm is
made from dried grass and dirty gauze, and is pinned at the
shoulder and at the wrist to her body by old safety pins.
She
is
approximately 27¾" tall.
The
doll will come signed and dated. Victoria Lynn,
