St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a handcrafted doll standing on a wooden base, featuring intricate details and adorned in traditional attire likely inspired by Pacific Island cultures. The doll is wrapped in fabric and has expressive facial features, with black hair styled in an updo decorated with colorful embellishments. Around its neck is an orange garland that adds a festive touch. Its body is dressed in a top with vibrant patterns, and the lower half is covered in a skirt made from straw or raffia, tied with a pink string. One arm is raised, suggesting a dance pose or gesture. The background consists of white cabinets with glass doors, likely in a museum or collection display area. Attached to the wooden base is a tag reading "99.1.76 Pacific," indicating its designation within a collection. The table surface is white, textured, and adds an element of contrast to the overall display.
