St. Joseph Museums

The image shows an antique porcelain doll lying on a wooden surface, dressed in a long, cream-colored gown decorated with floral embroidery along the hem. The doll has a delicate, lace-trimmed bonnet tied with a ribbon under its chin, matching the subtle details on its dress, which appears to have signs of aging, with some small brown spots indicating wear over time. The doll's arms are visible, showing its delicate porcelain hands peeking out from underneath puffed sleeves. A tiny tag is attached to the doll’s wrist, suggesting this might be part of a collection or display.
