Being offered are a WONDERFUL pair of antique 17" ethnic, possibly Russian(I've been told also possibly Bulgarian, composition/ceramic shoulder head dolls that are dressed in original, authentic, hand-detailed, peasant costumes. These dolls are circa early 1900's and have jointed cloth bodies, individually sewn fingers and composition/ceramic heads with hand painted features. The costumes are of natural fabrics with many hand embroidered details. Both wear GREAT hand made leather sandals. He wears a brimmed straw hat and carries a wooden staff....she wears a silk bonnet and holds a decorated ewer. Around her neck is a beaded necklace with a medallion that has inscriptions that may hold the key to their country of origin.....there are several symbols on each side of this medallion and on one side a word that is spelled as follows; "M E C N(backwards) H L(inverted)".....this may be a word spelled in the Cyrilic alphabet. They are both on sturdy wooden stands and in very good overall condition with minimal scuffing and staining attributed to age. THIS IS TRULY AN EXCEPTIONAL PAIR OF DOLLS!!
