Vintage Jamaican Souvenir Cultural Costume Doll
This is a vintage souvenir collector doll representing Jamaican culture, likely produced in the late 20th century. The doll features a dark-toned complexion with articulated features and long, black braided hair accented by vibrant blue plastic beads at the ends. She wears a wide-brimmed woven straw hat featuring green embroidered text that appears to say 'Jamaica'. Her ensemble is highly decorative, consisting of a multi-tiered Caribbean-style dress. The top tier is a bright turquoise blue with yellow rick-rack trim and white floral lace ruffles. A yellow sash across her torso reads 'JAMAICA'S TROPICAL SPLENDOR'. The lower skirt tiers transition into a tropical-themed print featuring palm trees and sunset motifs in blues, greens, and yellows, heavily accented with broad white lace trim. The doll stands approximately 10 to 12 inches tall and is mounted on a white circular plastic display stand. The condition appears to be very good with some slight fraying on the lace edges and minor dust accumulation, suggesting it has been kept for display. The craftsmanship is typical of tourist-market folk dolls, focusing on vibrant colors and representative costume rather than high-end porcelain detailing.
