Attributed to the mid-20th century, it measures approximately 22 cm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA curled black moustache, blue eyes and rosy cheeks give the face its distinctive personality. Dark hair frames the head, while a small painted dot appears below the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCharacterful Painted Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eyes glance slightly sideways beneath fine painted brows. Pink shading across the cheeks contrasts with the pale face and sharply defined moustache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose-up photographs show small surface marks and areas of wear to the facial paint. These details are part of the doll’s present appearance rather than concealed by the overall costume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe head is described as composition or hard plastic, but the exact material has not been confirmed. The dark hair has a fibre-like texture; its precise composition is also unverified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLayered Folk-Style Costume\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fitted black waistcoat sits over a white shirt with long sleeves and a high folded collar. Small metallic buttons decorate the front, providing contrasting highlights against the dark fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vivid red fabric sash introduces the strongest colour at the waist. Full black breeches create a rounded silhouette above cream ribbed stockings and small black moulded shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clothing includes visible stitching and layered fabric construction. Exact fibre content and the extent of hand sewing have not been independently established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCostume and Period Attribution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe costume has been described as Alsatian or Central European in style. This remains a stylistic attribution, not confirmation of where the doll was manufactured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplied circa-1940s–1960s dating is approximate. No maker attribution is established from the available information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall presentation remains appealing, although the clothing has noticeable damage. Several holes are visible in the black breeches, and the red sash has pronounced fraying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white sleeves and wrist areas show wear, fraying and some discolouration. The black shoes have surface scuffs and worn edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe doll is reported to stand independently and is photographed upright. Please review the front, back and close-up views for clothing losses, facial marks and wear to the shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObject: Male folk costume character doll\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: Mid-20th century, circa 1940s–1960s\u003cbr\u003eCostume style: Alsatian or Central European\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Cloth body with rigid head, hands and feet; exact materials unverified\u003cbr\u003eCostume: Black waistcoat and breeches, white shirt, red sash, cream ribbed stockings and black shoes\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: Approximately 22 × 4 × 5 cm, as supplied\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Vintage wear; holes in breeches, frayed sash and cuffs, facial marks and shoe scuffs\u003cbr\u003eSKU: 2C135\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It’s Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe moustached face and contrasting costume give this small figure a lively presence.
