Inuit Roly Poly Bell Doll – Hand Painted, Signed “C.M.”, 4.5" Tall
This unique hand-painted wooden roly-poly doll features a rounded base that allows it to wobble and return upright when nudged, producing a soft bell sound inside. The figure depicts a woman in traditional attire with a serene expression, flanked by a painted bear, wildflowers, and Northern landscape motifs. The reverse showcases a stylized totemic design, possibly representing a bird or orca, in bold Northwest Coast-inspired lines.
Signed “C.M.” on the underside, this piece blends cultural symbolism with playful interactivity. The vibrant palette and fine brushwork make it a standout collectible or gift.
Condition
In good condition with some visible wear and signs of use. The painted surface shows minor scuffing and handling marks consistent with age, but the artwork remains vivid. Bell mechanism functions as intended. Please see photos for details.
