Chinese Doll.
China and England.: King's Messengers S.P.G. circa1905. Small Chinese figure 17 x 6 cms padded silk brocade paper hair and watercolour the painted face a little scuffed mounted onto stiff card and backed onto what appears to be the verso of a certificate or exercise book cover trimmed and creased with a repaired tear and a few minor abrasions printed with the text "King's Messengers S.P.G./ Rugby Branch. / Passed Examination in Missionary Knowledge. Secretary. Chaplain. 19." all blank the figure with a loop at the head for display or hanging very good clean condition. The King's Messengers were the children's branch of a Church of England Missionary Society: S.P.G. "The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts". Presumably the delicately made figure was constructed at a Society mission in China S.P.G. sent missionaries to China in 1895 and at some point glued to the backing. A loop at the top suggests that the figure was intended to hang free. The doll-like figure represents an unusual example of folk art. . King's Messengers, S.P.G. unknown
