Dominican Republic Young Girl Made with Procelana Fria Wearing a Colorful Dress and Scarf (Full View)

This young lady from the Dominican Republic is made from porcelana fria (cold porcelain). Cold porcelain is an inexpensive, pliable material that is used to mold figures. It hardens when exposed to air. She is very colorful, with a green scarf and blue bow on her head. She does not have facial features; she is wearing a colorful dress with a large bib-type bodice. Her hands are holding a basket filled with colorful fruit. Tag: "Hecho a mano con Much Amore En La Romana Republica Dominicana." The figure stands 5 inches (13 cm) tall.
