Sweet Set of Handmade Watercolor Paper Dolls Arviat carving In Japan these are usedA very sweet set of old hand painted watercolor paper dolls, featuring quite the spectrum of costumes, I believe meant to represent an international cast of girls in traditional dress, with a couple of boys thrown in for good measure. The hats come off and there are a few extra pieces too, and names for each girl and boy are handwritten in pencil on the backs! I especially love the girl in brown with red fringe, looking very shy. Boy in blue is 5 5 8"
