    Description

    Vintage celluloid doll in original costume, possibly Ukrainian or Russian. 9 inches tall. Cloth hands feel as if there are molded fingers beneath the cloth. Solid packed cloth body with button joints. Sleeves and front of shirt show fabulous red embroidered detailing. Even her undershorts have decorative rick rack trim. Attractive ankle tie boots.  There is something solidly self assured about this young woman's stance. Maybe it's those boots in combination with her calm determined face. Whatever it is, she knows she's going to get the job done.
