6” Half Doll Bisqueloid

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a vintage doll's bust laid on a textured surface. The doll has an intricate hairstyle with wavy, light-colored hair and a detailed painted face, featuring red lips and bold eye makeup. The torso is slender and sculpted, with distinct shaping, resembling classic doll designs from a bygone era. A thin string is tied around the neck, attached to a blank, white tag, which likely serves as an identifier or price label. The surface beneath the doll has a sparkly texture, hinting at a reflective or glittery material. The visible markings on the doll's neck read "BISKELO," suggesting a possible manufacturer or model name. The overall appearance of the doll indicates that it could potentially be a collectible or antique, given its craftsmanship and styling. The wooden stubs at the shoulders might indicate where arms were once attached, adding to its old-fashioned allure.
