St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a handmade doll dressed in traditional attire, featuring a green headscarf covering the head and upper part of the face, with only the eyes visible through a semi-transparent veil. The doll is wearing a long black cloak or robe that covers its entire body, leaving only the hands exposed, which are made of a tan fabric. The feet are covered by the robe, with green fabric slightly visible and a white string trailing from the end. The doll is placed on a textured surface, possibly a light gray fabric, serving as the background, creating a contrast with the dark clothing of the doll, enhancing its distinct cultural attire.
