St. Joseph Museums

The image features a unique, handcrafted fabric doll that appears to depict two characters in one design, lying on a rich burgundy background. The upper part resembles an elderly character with white hair, round glasses, and a bonnet decorated with an intricate floral pattern against a dark background. This section of the doll is dressed in a red outfit trimmed with lace. Attached to the other side, or perhaps hidden beneath a wrap, is a depiction of a younger character, featuring vibrant red hair and expressive eyes, adorned in a pointed red hat and matching cloak with a bow. A small white price or identification tag marked with a handwritten number is attached to the elderly character's bonnet, suggesting it might be part of a collection or an item for sale. The craftsmanship is detailed, and the dolls appear soft and stitched, displaying a blend of artistic creativity and folk-art style. The red and green color scheme enhances the visual contrast, adding an additional layer of depth and cultural storytelling to the piece.
