Eleven nut head figures are dressed in their Sunday best in this charming grouping. The faces are painted black with fabric hats and kerchiefs on some of their heads. Each doll is dressed differently with handmade clothing.
Tallest of the group is the preacher in a top hat and holding the Holy Bible. He is 7 inches tall. A schoolboy is carrying his textbook. Mother in a fur stole and her daughter are dressed in wool ensembles. The smallest child is carrying her rag doll while another figure clutches her teddy bear.
The figures have metal mounts on which they stand. They are not permanently attached to the mounts and can be moved from one place to another. The mounts are attached to a wood platform measuring 8" x 12". In sum, this group is an outstanding example of figural folk art from the late 19th/early 20th century.
