Carl Bergner, Sonneberg, ‘Two-sided doll’, Germany, c. 1890–1910 - A two-faced doll with a swivelling bisque head and a wooden body covered in cloth, with articulated wooden limbs. The head movement mechanism features two opposing faces with different expressions (one smiling and the other crying), each with an open mouth and fixed glass eyes, which are alternately concealed by a fixed papier-mâché hood. A metal ring at the top allows the facial features to be rotated by hand. She is dressed in a non-original period skirt. Height: 33.5 cm
