The image depicts an intricately crafted doll featuring a meticulously painted face with defined eyebrows, pink cheeks, and red lips, framed by a textured brown hairstyle. The doll is adorned in a long robe made of mint green fabric embellished with gold floral patterns, complemented by burgundy velvet trim along the edges and cuffs. Around its neck, it wears a detailed, rectangular pendant with a gold and red geometric design, featuring a central piece that resembles a gem. The outfit is cinched at the waist with a silver cord, and a golden sword is elegantly sheathed at its side. The doll stands on a sturdy base, providing stability, and wears black shoes that complete its traditional and regal appearance.
