Dutch Wooden Doll Low-poly 3D model

Peg wooden dolls, also known as Dutch dolls (German: Grödner Gliederpuppen), are a type of wooden doll from Germany. They originated as simple lathe-turned dolls from the Val Gardena in the Alps. These dolls were sold undressed. Children would then make their clothing from scraps of fabric.

Other similarly-constructed wooden dolls, using a jointing technique where the arms and/or legs are attached to the body with pegs, are some of the oldest surviving dolls, and were made worldwide. Sometimes a peg wooden doll's arms or legs are locked together by the jointing system, so if one arm is moved the other will move. An advanced form of peg joints is where the body pegs are split and attached separately allowing independent movement.
