DOLL

Object/Artifact

St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a colorful bead doll made primarily of yellow beads and adorned with a small hat, resembling a clown or jester, complete with painted facial features. The doll has articulated joints at the arms and legs, wired together, allowing it to move. Attached to one arm via a metal ring is a small charm that looks like a tiny pink and white striped creature. A golden tassel is affixed to the top of the hat, giving it an extra ornamental touch. The entire figure is photographed against a white, textured background that resembles bubble wrap. Attached to the doll by a piece of string is a white tag bearing handwritten text that reads "Bead Doll" with an inventory number "76.35.4" underneath, suggesting it could be part of a cataloged collection or exhibit.
