Little
is
known
about
the
history
of
this
doll.
She
was
donated
to
Puke
Ariki’s
collection
by
Mrs
H
Cartwright,
who
lived
in
New
Plymouth,
but
little
is
known
about
the
doll
herself.
She
has
clearly
been
quite
a
favourite,
as
she
is
missing
a
little
finger
and
looks
very
well-loved!
She
also
sports
a
handmade
gown,
possibly
made
by
a
loving
owner
or
owner’s
mother.
