Marvelously constructed with resin, composite face and hands and perhaps wooden pieces covered with cloth for legs, this 10 inch tall folk doll has fine detailing in her traditional clothing, beribboned hair and head piece.
She is dressed in a beige puffy blouse trimmed with lace at the wrists and neck, traditional colors on her skirt of brown, yellow, green. Over the blouse she is wearing a corselet/vest in red, trimmed in green. Covering the skirt is a decorative beige lacy over-lay. Undergarments, too, are made of lace. Her black hat is trimmed in green, red, and gold with ribbons attached to the backside. Hair (human?) is below her waist and braided with bow decoration.
The doll is in fine vintage condition with no rips, tears, or staining. Do not know if the beige blouse and lace were originally lighter in color, and perhaps darkened somewhat with age. Many different stamped markings are under the wooden base of this Eastern European folk doll. Some of the printed information is too worn to read, but the part that can be deciphered looks as if it has the word Kurpianka, followed by the number 7 and what seems to be, Korfus Nalhi Zastkzezony. Then, beneath that, M.Buczkowska and 72. |
