Swiss Display Doll

This Swiss doll is made of wood, with a painted face and dressed in woolen clothing. This construction is typical of Swiss dolls made in the 1960s.

This doll is dressed in traditional clothing, with a heavy woolen cloak. Each of the cantons in Switzerland has its own folk costume. Clothing choices for men and women were influenced by factors such as marital status, social class, and age.

Gathered skirts are common elements for all the costumes, as well as aprons. She carries the Alps Mountains flower edelweiss.
