Mixed-Media Anthropomorphic Decorative Figurine

This unusual decorative object features a stylized human face with an elongated, conical head, likely constructed from a combination of paper mâché and fabric. The face is hand-painted with a pale pink complexion, simple black eyes, and a neutral mouth. The hair is represented by black fabric draped along the sides, crowned with a ring of small, artificial cream-colored flowers. The figure stands approximately 12 to 15 inches tall and is mounted on an oval, wooden bust-like base with vertical brown grain patterns. A single dried floral accent is pinned to the base. Above the head, it appears to be integrated into a larger installation involving dried straw or raffia, which hangs downward like a hula skirt or thatch. The craftsmanship suggests a folk art or boutique decorative origin, possibly from the late 20th century. Condition-wise, the piece shows some dust accumulation on the fabric and straw, and slight fading to the painted facial features, but no major structural damage or repairs are immediately visible. The overall aesthetic is whimsical and eclectic, blending elements of doll-making with abstract sculpture.
