    Description

    Charming antique Finnish doll, hand-painted woman on wood, wearing regional folk attire.  Simple and rustic and yet very lovely in its simplicity.  Stands 5" high.  This item belonged to my grandmother, who emigrated with her family to the U.S. in 1914.   The family came from the Vaasa region of Finland, near towns of Munsala, Nykarleby, and Jeppo.
    On the bottom is written "Sundsten" - her birth name.  Her father was from Munsala, her mother from Nykarleby, and Jeppo is another nearby village.
    Condition is "Used".
