Clown Doll on Wooden Swing

This item is a decorative clown doll, likely a shelf-sitter or hanging ornament, depicting a clown figure. The doll features a porcelain or ceramic head with painted facial features common to clown aesthetics, including white face paint, penciled eyebrows, an orange-red nose, and red lips. The clown has a vibrant red, curly 'hair' made of a fibrous material, possibly yarn or similar synthetic fibers, adding to its character. It wears a brightly colored, patterned suit primarily in a reddish-orange hue, adorned with repeated gold or light-colored motifs resembling suns and crescent moons, giving it a celestial theme. The suit has ruffled details around the neck and wrists, indicating a playful, elaborate design. Two prominent red pom-poms serve as buttons on the front of the costume. The hat, matching the suit's fabric and pattern, is conical with a red pom-pom at its tip and features a ruffled brim matching the 'hair' material. The hands appear to be made of a similar material to the face, while the feet are covered in black fabric, possibly felt, concluding the outfit with white lace trim visible at the ankles. The doll is suspended on a small, light-colored wooden swing, suggesting it is designed to be hung or positioned in a way that highlights its swinging motion. Thin white strings connect the swing to an unseen support structure above. The overall condition appears good, with no immediately visible significant damage or wear; the colors are vibrant, and the materials seem intact. It exhibits characteristics of a mass-produced collectible or decorative item, possibly from the late 20th or early 21st century.
