Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a whimsical ceramic figurine of a nurse, characterized by exaggerated features and animated posture, seated on a chair against a dark purple background; she wears a white nurse's uniform and cap, with a red cross symbol on her chest and a stethoscope hanging around her neck, while her right hand wears an oversized rubber glove, suggesting a humorous or caricature style, and a tag dangles from her dress, perhaps implying a comical narrative or serving as a playful decorative detail for a viewer to enjoy.
