Vintage Folk Art Woman with Baby Doll. Measures 9 1/4" in height. Excellent condition.
This charming handmade textile doll is a beautiful representation of traditional folk artistry. The figure depicts a mother holding a small infant on her shoulder, both featuring hand-painted faces and coordinated outfits. The woman is dressed in a striking, multi-colored striped skirt with geometric patterns and a dark floral bodice accented by bright pink cuffs. Her long, black yarn braids are decorated with green and red pom-poms, leading up to a tall, pointed headpiece (similar to a traditional kokoshnik) that completes her cultural attire.
Standing 9.25 inches tall, this doll is crafted from various fabrics and stuffed to maintain a sturdy, upright form. The level of detail in the layered textiles and the vibrant color palette makes this a standout piece for collectors of international folk art or those looking for a unique, soulful addition to their home decor. It serves as a lovely tribute to the "mother and child" bond and the enduring beauty of handmade heritage crafts.
