Description
A vintage textile doll handmade from woven cloth with an embroidered face, yarn hair and layered traditional-style clothing.
The figure has a wonderfully individual folk art quality, with a striped woven skirt, deep red yarn details, hand stitching and a loosely woven veil or head covering. The deliberately simple construction and expressive embroidered features give the doll a strong sculptural presence.
An unusual piece of vintage textile art for collectors of handmade dolls, folk art, ethnographic objects and traditional craft.
