The image depicts a handmade folk art doll with a carved wooden face, dressed in a colorful patterned fabric that wraps around its body. The doll's attire features various shades of blue, brown, and green, with geometric and floral patterns. It is seated on a cylindrical base also wrapped in fabric. The doll has a headscarf made from black cloth, and its facial features are painted with simple details. A white string tied around the doll holds a tag labeled with handwritten text, which reads "c. 12 J 99.11.12 Europe." The scene is set against a neutral background with some colorful, out-of-focus elements visible in the distance.
