Paradise Galleries 'Spirits of the Southwest: Sparkling Waters' Doll

The item is a collectible doll from Paradise Galleries, specifically named 'Spirits of the Southwest: Sparkling Waters'. The doll is presented in what appears to be its original packaging, a cardboard box with a pink dotted design on the sides, lined with white tissue paper. The doll itself is designed to represent a Native American woman, lying face up in the box. She has dark, wavy hair framing a delicately painted face with closed lips, dark eyes, and sculpted features suggesting a serene expression. Her skin tone appears to be a medium tan. She is adorned in a white garment, possibly made of faux suede or a similar soft fabric, featuring extensive fringe details on the sleeves and along the hem of the top layer. The garment is embellished with black and red beads, forming patterns on the chest and arms. A necklace of red, white, and black beads is visible around her neck. The doll's limbs appear to be soft, suggesting a cloth body, while the head and hands are likely made of porcelain or vinyl. Next to the doll in the box is a small, woven basket containing what seem to be two small, pale, carved figures, possibly birds or small animals, nestled on some white fluff or feathers. The overall condition appears to be excellent, consistent with an item that has been kept in its original packaging. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, or repairs on the doll or her accessories. The accompanying booklet, titled 'Spirits of the Southwest Sparkling Waters' from Paradise Galleries, features an image of a woman, presumably the doll, on its cover, and confirms the doll's identity and origin. This suggests the doll is a limited edition or part of a themed collection. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, typical for collectible dolls produced by Paradise Galleries, known for their realistic and detailed doll creations. The style period is contemporary, likely late 20th or early 21st century.
