St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a colorful, handcrafted doll dressed in traditional attire from Viana, characterized by a vibrant red skirt adorned with multicolored floral embroidery and the word "VIANA" embroidered in blue. The doll's upper garment features an intricate pattern in yellow, red, and black hues, with puffy cream-colored sleeves. The doll has a painted face with distinct black eyebrows and eyes, rosy cheeks, and red lips, while dark yarn simulates hair, some of which is styled in a curl framing the face. A red fabric scarf enhances the look, and the doll holds a white string around its neck. Attached to the doll is a white paper tag with a handwritten note, "Europe," crossed out with a pen, and accompanied by a simple line drawing. The doll is positioned on a white, textured surface with a blurry background that includes a brown door and another small, colorful object. The craftsmanship and detail reflect cultural artistry and tradition.
