This extremely rare 30-inch felt swivel-head Lenci doll was featured in their 1928 catalog as model #560, portraying Rudolph Valentino in the then current films "The Sheik" and "The Son of the Sheik." This is the only model with distinctive facial sculpting with extraordinary detail of original costume, including details of embroidery, felt and metallic appliques, leather-tooled and ornamented high boots, jeweled sword, jeweled rings, leather belt and felt-lined coat - all of which are original. Few examples are known to exist, this example in likely the finest condition known. Photo courtesy of Theriault's 64 SPRING 2019
