Pattern board of jointed dolls
A hit export from Gröden: dolls with jointed limbs
Jointed dolls were the main item made by Gröden toy carvers from the 1840s until the First World War. The dolls were available in all sizes and the whole family was involved in their manufacture: arms, legs, face and body were produced separately, put together with wooden pegs or ball joints and the face was painted on. These jointed dolls were mainly sold in France and England.
