Mexican doll w/ papoose, circa 1915

Mother Doll carries child on back / Papoose, I called them Maria & Pepita

Hand Crafted Folk Art Circa 1915

16″ tall

Their molded cloth heads are covered with a very thin silk “skin” with hand-painted features.

Condition: MINT (never been played with)

She is exquisitely dressed in a typical peasant ensemble that is well-made:  blouse, pleated skirt, and papoose scarf, bare feet and yet…. she is wearing strands of delicate mercury glass? beads around her neck and bright red glass earrings!

She’s elegant, unique.  Rare.
