I have had this many years. I never could Id it. I was told it was black Americana made by a slave child on a plantation but idk if that's true. It's wrapped in very old cloth. And the doll itself is a heavy type clay. It is about 4 inches long. Can anyone help me id it? Thank you.
I am trying to figure out how the parts go together. Do the little torsos sit on top of the "spokes" ? Or if not how do they attach to the solid piece in the last photo? Is the piece of fabric holding them together?
The clothing could be a clue. Looks like a uniform of some kind. Below is a Union army Civil War uniform:
