Soft Sculpture Doll Appraisal

Artisan Soft Sculpture Cloth Doll with Cowgirl Boots and Accessories

This is a large-scale, artisan-crafted soft sculpture cloth doll, approximately 30-36 inches in height. The figure features a round, stuffed fabric head with simple embroidered facial features (eyes and mouth) and vibrant rosy cheeks. It is adorned with thick, curly ginger-colored synthetic hair accented by blue and purple fabric bows. The doll is dressed in a layered winter-themed ensemble, including a maroon sweater with green textured dots, a lime green and multi-colored chunky knit scarf, and a heavy fuchsia-pink wool-like skirt with white flecks. A pair of miniature white ice skates with black blades and a small reddish-brown plush teddy bear are attached to the waist area. Notably, the doll wears full-sized adult or child-sized brown faux-leather cowgirl boots as feet. The construction suggests an 'art doll' or country-style folk art piece likely from the late 1990s or early 2000s. The materials range from various textiles and yarns to plastic and synthetic leather for the footwear. The condition appears to be excellent vintage quality with no visible stains, tears, or significant fading, though the boots show minor scuffing typical of display. The heavy layering and use of real-world objects like boots and skates indicate high-quality craftsmanship intended for decorative display rather than rough play.
