St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a handmade figurine, made from various metallic and beaded components. The head appears to be crafted from a light-colored bead with a face drawn on it, topped with an intricate silver headpiece made from woven metallic threads. The body consists of a larger, oval bead adorned with metallic paint or coating, reflecting a slightly worn surface. The arms and legs are constructed from elongated glass or plastic beads connected via copper wire, lending an articulated, doll-like structure to the figure. Around the waist, there's an ornate skirt created from lace-like metallic material, adding a touch of elegance. A white string is attached to the shoulder, possibly for hanging or display purposes, against a plain, dark background providing contrast and highlighting the details and craftsmanship of the figurine.
