This is a vintage Kewpie "Thinker" doll. The pose, with its head resting on hands and elbows on bent knees, is a classic variation of the Kewpie character created by Rose O'Neill in the early 20th century. It is characterized by its cherubic face, large side-glancing eyes, and distinct topknot hairstyle. This specific pose is commonly referred to as the "Thinker" pose, inspired by Rodin's famous sculpture. It is likely made of vinyl or soft rubber from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1960s or 1970s, rather than the earlier, more valuable bisque or composition materials. Many of these mass-produced dolls were made by companies like Cameo and has a maker's mark on the back.
This doll is in excellent condition with no cracks or repairs.
