Vintage Handcrafted 1971 "Jamaica" Family Of 3 Black Rag Dolls Souvenir Artisan Folk Art Caribbean Island
This wonderful family of 3 handmade dolls are from my trip to Jamaica in 1971 while I was cruising on the M. S. Renaissance cruise ship.
All 3 are handmade and hand painted by the same artist. All made of cloth and the mom and dad have hand woven straw hats on. The dolls have a unique construction in that all of their costumes are hand pinned in place.
The father is 11" tall in a yellow short sleeve shirt and blue pants. He is finished with a fitted straw hat.
The mother is 11 1/2" tall in a lime green blouse, beige mid scarf and a striped, multi colored long skirt. She is finished with a straw hat with an orange scarf.
The daughter is 7" tall and has an abstract blouse and colorful skirt on. On a white cotton circle pinned to her back is the word "JAMAICA" written in red ink.
This family are very Jamaican Folk Art with their painted faces being quite primitive.
Fantastic threesome.
These dolls are just perfect.
