See more about 'RARE NRFB PHILIP S. HEATH GOTZ LUALABA DOLL WITH COA ' Description Up for auction is a very hard to find Lualaba Gotz doll from the Children of the World series dating back to 1995 by renowned artist Philp S Heath (Not to be confused with Phil Heath the bodybuilder). This is a very lovely doll. It is a limited edition of 500. This one is 356 of 500. It comes with it's tags still on the doll with the COA signed by Philip Heath. From what I can tell the doll has never been removed from the box. Her feet are still strapped down with rubber bands and her necklace packaged and taped to the inside of the box. However it looks like her rubber band straps have come off her back side of the box. She still has the foam around her neck. She also comes with the Philp's Children of the world book. Here is what it Philip says in the book about Lualaba. "I have never mer Lualaba but received a photo of her from a relative. She is a little girl from Zarie and was photoed waiting in line for food. I felt an immediate contact with this lovely, rather sad child. You can see in her eyes and expression, sadness tiredness, and the quietness of someone waiting. Even though the child is young she appears to have lived a long live, as is usual with children in difficult circumstances. I christened her Lualaba after the river which coureses through Zaire."
