Vintage Indian Folk Art Doll: Woman Musician with Dholak Drum

Vintage Ethnic Doll with Drum. Measures about 9.75" in height. Good condition. Little dusty and has a chain that doesn't connect to anything.

Celebrate the rich culture of India with this beautiful handmade vintage folk art doll. This lovely figure depicts a female musician in vibrant traditional dress, featuring a red top (choli), a flowing blue skirt, and a bright yellow head covering (dupatta). Her face is hand-painted with expressive features, including a traditional bindi. She is adorned with jewelry and carries a small Dholak drum, suspended by a cord around her shoulders. Standing at approximately 9.75 inches tall on a simple black base, she is a wonderful example of handcrafted cultural art. As a vintage item, she is a little dusty and has a loose decorative chain.

This doll is a perfect gift for a collector of world dolls, an enthusiast of Indian culture, or anyone who appreciates handcrafted global art. She serves as a striking decorative piece for a bookshelf, a vibrant accent in a globally-inspired room, or as part of a cultural display.

This item is vintage, over 40 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there may be minor imperfections that I missed.
