St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a handmade cloth doll with a painted face and two long black braids, wearing a traditional outfit consisting of a red skirt adorned with a few dark spots and a green apron-like layer on top, along with a cream-colored blouse. The doll has painted facial features, including eyes, eyebrows, a small nose, and red lips, all highlighted with blush on the cheeks. Its arms and legs are styled in a simple manner, and the shoes match the color of the green on the apron. There is a tag attached to the doll's left arm by a string, marked with the numbers 12791 and 99.144, suggesting it might be a catalog or inventory number. The doll is placed against a textured, possibly foam-like, light background, possibly for display or archival purposes, giving a sense of vintage charm and cultural significance to the piece.
