Doll

Object/Artifact

St. Joseph Museums

The image displays a small vintage doll with a disproportionately large head and wide, open eyes. Its head has a shiny, peach-colored surface, while the body's texture mimics the appearance of fabric in a dark, possibly black or dark gray color. The doll appears to be designed in a simplistic style, standing upright on a circular base. It wears what looks like a paper or fabric bow tie with a yellowish hue around its neck. The doll's tiny hands are visible, protruding slightly from the sleeves. A white string is tied around the lower section, attaching a tag labeled "12.3. 178 A" and "Doll 11 6 E" in black handwriting. The backdrop is a plain, textured surface that possibly serves as a display or storage area. The overall impression suggests the doll could be an antique or collector's item, leveraging a minimalist, hand-crafted aesthetic, possibly symbolizing early to mid-20th-century manufacturing techniques or design.
