DescriptionA female doll dressed in a traditional Bohemian kroj. She wears a plain, white blouse with puffed sleeves, lace cuffs and red ribbons. There is a white and pink lace collar at her neck. She has a dark mauve, brocade skirt and a black lace apron. The apron has white lace across its bottom and up each side, and metallic gold threading woven throughout the lace. Her belt is a wide piece of black felt with metallic gold cording on its top and bottom edges. Her legs are simply red fabric to emulate stockings with black shoe feet. Her white cap is fixed with a piece of pleated fabric sewn on either side so they stick out like the signature bows of kroje from Bohemia. The doll has a painted face and synthetic brown hair.
