I was lucky to come across very old doll heads. We were told they are pre WWII doll heads. He is very old. Please look carefully at the pictures - due to his age there are many scratches and chips on his head.
This one measures about 13.8 cm long and about 16.5 cm around. He is heavy for his size!
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.
