Mid-20th Century Colombian Souvenir Doll with Straw Hat, Traditional Dress, and Braided Hair, 10 Inc

This mid-20th century souvenir doll from Colombia stands approximately 10 inches tall and embodies traditional regional attire. The doll features painted facial details, blue eyes with molded lashes, and brunette synthetic hair styled in a long braid tied with red thread. She is dressed in a hand-sewn multi-colored wool-trimmed skirt with green, yellow, blue, and red stripes, a white lace blouse, and a woven straw hat labeled “Colombia.” She stands on a red plastic base and wears white painted sandals. The doll’s head shows paint and surface wear at the crown and back, with loss to the original hair in those areas, while the clothing remains vibrant and intact. This example serves as a charming representation of regional dress dolls often marketed as souvenirs in the mid-20th century, appealing to collectors interested in Latin American cultural memorabilia. Significant age-related wear is present to the head, but the overall ensemble retains distinctive character.
