Doll

The image shows a collection of five handcrafted dolls mounted on a piece of cardboard, with each doll showcasing distinct clothing and hair styles. The tag attached to the cardboard reads "5 Dolls on Cardboard," along with the numbers "97.1.97" and "99.1.97 4104." Below the dolls, a piece of paper provides detailed information, stating that these Chinese dolls were made by inmates of the Orphan Asylum of the "Door of Hope Mission" in Shanghai. It emphasizes the rarity of the collection and notes that the boys did the carving while the girls handled the sewing. The dolls are carefully arranged, each wearing vibrantly colored traditional attire, and reflect meticulous craftsmanship.
