    She's ~9" high, weighs ~2 1/2 oz. Her legs are semi-rigid. She's been played with but fairly well cared for, given her age; which I'll guess is post-war, but I really don't know.
    She an' her brother, the headless German fellow, were at a sale in southern central Oregon maybe 25 years ago, both in a plastic bag, for $1. Brought home an' stored an' forgotten since, but recently rolled to the top during a search for something else...what can y'all tell me about her? Thanks for lookin'!

    She's wearing a very simplified china poblana costume from Puebla. Typically it has a red, green and white banded skirt (in the colors of the Mexican flag) and an embroidered short-sleeved blouse. Yours is wearing her rebozo or shawl tied around her torso.
