St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a small doll with a dark brown complexion, adorned with a black and multicolored headdress featuring zigzag patterns and a red feather-like detail. The doll is clothed in a traditional style with a skirt made of light-colored straw or grass material, secured with a red thread around its waist. Its facial features are painted on, with dark eyes, eyebrows, and red lips, though the paint appears slightly worn, suggesting age or use. The doll is positioned on a textured, grayish background, possibly for display or photographing purposes. A white tag is attached to the doll with a string, and it displays the numbers "17294" and "99.1.78" indicating cataloging or identification information, which might suggest its inclusion in a collection or inventory setting such as a museum or gallery exhibit.
