Peg dolls 

Peg dolls are also know as peg woodens and Dutch dolls. They date from the late 18th century. The doll's head and body are made out of one turned and carved piece of wood and the legs and arms are attached separately with hinged tongue and groove joints. The doll's face is painted white with black hair and simple facial features. Their lower legs and arms are also painted, with the middle section left as rough wood as this will be covered by the doll's clothing.
