Very unusual and hard to find doll from Afghanistan made of cloth over wire. She is wearing a chadri that can be removed, revealing her brightly colored pink outfit with gold threads woven in. A burqa (or Chadri as it is called in Afghanistan) is a garment that is worn by women of islamic belief, covering the face and most of the body. Very good condition with minor fading to the chadri. Size 28 cm/10 inches. Marked 'Afghanistan' under her foot by a former owner. Stand not included.
