Doll Head

My sister gave me a doll head for my birthday this year (the third one she's given me!) Unlike the first two, though, this one was unable to sit upright. This was due to a large wooden ball protruding from her neck, presumably there to give her head movement when it's attached to a body.

But alas, this head wasn't going to get a body anytime soon. When my dad was here in May he took the neck apart to try to figure out how we could get it to stand upright. His solution was to build a small stand, which he finished and sent us a few days ago:

It's quite a charming display piece. Eventually I will find small bell jars to fit over all the heads, and have small brass plaques engraved with some Latin scientific mumbo-jumbo.
