Collector's note – descriptive qualities, standard characteristics & ornamentation styles:

This piece was created in 1970, and is of an unusual barrel shape, ornamented with abstract plum flowers and leaves. Her tiny head pops out of the top of her heavy coat, adding a charming element to this unusual doll. The artist must have felt strong about her representation of plum blossoms, for she signed her name over the drawing on the obi.
