St. Joseph Museums

The image features a doll with a beige traditional outfit resembling a robe, layered over blue pants. The doll is lying on a textured, light-colored surface, possibly a type of protective foam. Its head is adorned with a black hat, and its face is crafted to mimic human features. A white tag attached by a string around the doll’s neck bears handwritten text, describing the doll as a "Chinese boy" and includes a sequence of numbers. The image captures the full body of the doll, which has intricately carved wooden hands and feet, highlighting the attention to detail in its design. The doll's positioning on the surface suggests a display or study context, hinting at cultural or historical significance. In the bottom part of the image, parts of a person’s legs in dark clothing are visible, indicating the photo was likely taken from above.
