Samurai warrior doll

Some blog visitors have been asking me about the two sculpted pieces that I showed in my Baking Super Sculpey article. 

I also collect and restore antique Samurai warrior dolls. Those sculpted pieces are for some missing parts for a Samurai warrior doll. This doll is 74 cm tall; I purchased it some years ago. The doll Kabuto's dragon maedate only comes with one front left foot and the tail is missing as with the two kuwagata. The two kuwagatas are cut from some brass sheets.

The dragon feet are sculpted and cast in Super Sculpey. The tail has been re-sculpted and the dragon is painted in gold enamel.
