Description The head is a medium brown and has a round hook in the top of the head, for hanging. The eyes are yellow with black iris's and move when the chin is pulled. It has a red tongue and white lower teeth. The back has a wood squareish box (looks like upside down house outline) with a slit where the spring is for the chin. It is attached to the head with tiny finishing nails. I have never seen anything like it and would love to know the background and what it is worth for insurance purposes and/or sale at a later date.
