St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a handcrafted figurine of a woman wearing a white blouse and a blue skirt, standing on a small circular base. She has a pink cloth draped over her head and carries a basket filled with what appears to be pineapples on her head. The figurine’s facial expression is calm, and her hands are relaxed at her sides. A white tag with some writing in black ink is attached to the figurine’s left arm with a piece of string, and a gloved hand gently supports the figure from the side. The background consists of white cabinets, suggesting a display or storage area for similar items. The surface on which the figurine stands is covered with a textured, white material.
