knottyposhwitch doll is about 13 inches tall, original nose ring and belly button bling still in place ..beautiful ornate sisha mirror work and sequins and so much detail, all of MS arts dolls were handmade and each one was one of a kind there are no 2 exactly alike anywhere. each amrapali doll has their own personality and expressions โ™ฅ they're all so pretty ๐Ÿ˜
