    Can anyone tell something about this antique doll head?
    Background? Maker (no marks)? Age? Reference? 3/0 stamped in neck.

    Eyes are open holes. Hole at top (for hair?). 37mm high (1,457 inch).
    Soft decoration. Not exaggerated.

    Are those numbers on the back of the neck?

    What is the material? Looks bisque porcelain like but you say "soft" decoration?

    Noop. No numbers. No markings.

    I think your spot on with "Looks bisque porcelain". Looks as not glazed. Looks as baked smoothened clay.

    With "soft decoration" i mean no hard colors.

    Checked to be shure and have to correct myself.
    Numbers yes. 3/0 stamped in.

    Sharp! Compliments! One step further. :happy:

    3/0 is the head size.

    Unfinished head. No details. Except one cheek looks rosey.

    Is that a small hole left side of nose?

    Thank you. Another step further. :happy:

    Used head. Doll fallen apart somewhere in history and dumped.

    Both. The other one doesn't come out as much on these evening pictures with flash. Although their not exactly equal (as if hand painted).

    No.

    Are these enough leads to tell more about it?
