1159 – Rag Doll
This adorable offering for a little girl's birthday depicts a classic rag doll made of pink gingham.Rag dolls are one of the most ancient children's toys in existence; they are traditionally home-made from (and stuffed with) spare scraps of material.The British Museum is in possession of a Roman rag doll, dating from 300 BC.This little darling is clad entirely in pink, from her dress, edged in delicate lace at the neckline, to her bonnet, also trimmed in white lace.A fringe of bang, in yellow "yarn" peeks out from under her cap, and two cheery blue eyes, a dainty nose and winning smile complete her lovable visage, appearing to have been embroidered on her face.The only risk here is that all the little girls present will want to cuddle her!
