"Rebecca" An Early American Settler Doll

Close-up of "Rebecca" Avon doll.

The printing on the side of the box she comes in reads:

 "Avon's celebration of women of bygone days is reflected in this beautiful and unique hand-crafted collector doll.

Rebecca, the Early Settler Doll, wears a dress that is both charming and practical. The bell-shaped green skirt is covered by a crisp white apron trimmed with lace. A face-framing cap is tied at the crown and neck by satin ribbons. Her winsome features are sculpted of fine porcelain bisque and carefully hand-painted. Her beauty lies in her character and simplicity."
