Here is a very cute doll head meant for Hina Matsuri. He is made from clay.

About Hina Matsuri
Platforms with a red hi-mōsen are used to display a set of ornamental dolls (雛人形, hina-ningyō) representing the Emperor, Empress, attendants, and musicians in traditional court dress of the Heian period. The custom of displaying dolls began during the Heian period. Formerly, people believed the dolls possessed the power to contain bad spirits.

He measures about 7 cm long and about 11.5 cm around. The last photo shows that a wood stick was broken and missing.

Please look at the pictures carefully.
