St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a handcrafted doll wearing traditional attire. The doll is adorned in a red dress with white dot patterns and has long black braids. It is decorated with colorful beaded necklaces and what appears to be a series of small white cylindrical pieces hanging along the front. The doll's face is painted with distinct features, including dark eyes and rosy cheeks. The hands are deftly crafted, holding a small item adorned with multicolored feathers. The lower part of the attire is detailed with purple and yellow-trimmed fabric over what resembles painted boots with intricate designs. The figure stands on a plain brown base that supports its structure.
