Margret is a one-of-a-kind witch doll created from vintage 1970’s era Avon American Heritage China Head Doll in the style of the “German Low Brow” antique dolls. I have added ceramic arms and legs to her body which is covered in tea-dyed vintage lace. She has a very sly look on her face.
She is adorned with vintage lace collar and star charm. She wears a hand-dyed vintage black cotton skirt with lace, and has a black felt hat that can be affixed with a little Gorilla putty or tied on with the ribbons. On her chatelain is a heart locket and gold chains. She comes with a matching broom crafted from apple wood known for its magical uses: protection, fertility, and divination.
She measures approximately 13”.
“Margret the Dove” — The Last Witch of Sweden
They called her Dufvans Margareta, Margareta Matsdotter of Dufvan Farm, a soft name for a hard fate. She was young, barely in her twenties, from the small coastal town of Sundsvall in northern Sweden. The year was 1676, and the kingdom was fevered with witch panic.
Margareta was accused of carrying children to Blåkulla, the mythical mountain where witches were said to dance with demons. She confessed, perhaps out of terror or simply to end her torment, and on a September morning in 1676 she was executed, becoming the last person executed for witchcraft in Sweden. The hysteria that took her life died soon after; within a year the trials ceased.
This doll is in excellent condition but she does have fragile, ceramic parts and is for display not play. Do not get her or her clothing wet, and keep out of direct sunlight.
