Gorgeous Russian Provincial girl....
from our "family" of regional dolls
Добро пожаловать в
наши списки
!
Here is a seldom found 11 1/2 inch tall, antique manufactured, painted bisque sockethead doll (head probably by K*R) dressed in her complete, multi-layered Russian
original clothing from the Ukrainian province or district that she represents
. See her on page 14, "The Other Russian Dolls"-Holderbaum.  She
is from
Dunaev,
and the destroyed
Zhuravlev & Kockeshkov
doll factory using a
German K&R doll head mold
.
Made in Soviet Union.
She has gorgeous, dark blue glass sleep eyes with wax eyelids, finely painted upper and lower eyelashes and multi-stroke painted eyebrows as well as an open mouth with row of tiny teeth (small cheek blush rub). She has a nicely shaped torso with joints at her shoulders, hips, elbows and a swivel head.
She has all her fingers and toes with original paint finish.
S
he
wears her original (crisp & clean) multi-layered costume including
a long cotton,

l
o
r
fully
floral printed head covering or babushka, striped petticoats beneath her dark striped
skirt
and h
er original tan cotton stockings and
woven grass, straw-type shoes
(lapti)
.
Her
golden brown
FLAX wig
is center-parted and combed back into a long braid at the back of her head which is covered with a lovely, paisley
babushka or head scarf
.
She can hold a pose and is best displayed with a stand as her original stringing needs tightening and is in exce
llent condition with no damages or repairs, (some paint chips on hands) no cracks or hairlines, no repaint, no chips or holes, no dust or fading and no odors as she is from a smoke free home.
