2 RARE Vintage handcraft Mexican Folk dolls marionette puppet clay leather baby

Description

2 Vintage antique crafted Mexican doll marionette puppet clay leather cloth. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
These two enchanting antique Mexican dolls are not your average cheap puppets on a string souvenirs one can easily find these days in south of the border shops but real authentic free standing soft bodied dolls made of fired clay that are hand painted, dressed and crafted collectables.
Offered here is a man and a woman,presumably a married couple with baby,  both dressed in nice traditional clothing, adjustable legs and arms in a style popular in the 1940-1950's in Mexico. The man has a straw hat that is in perfect condition, wearing a poncho on his shoulder and yellow checked shirt khaki pants. He has such a nicely painted face and moustache with the hands and head made of clay. He also carries on his back a real stone board of some sort as well as a stone utensil on front. Check out the incredible details in his feet and real leather sandals! Both hand and feet are adjustable/moveable so some degree but he is free standing. Same goes for the lovely senora who is dressed in a colorful diamond/dot blue dress and with woven gold accents that is bordered with lace. She also is carrying two bundles of what looks like reeds for perhaps making baskets or hats, all in perfect unbroken condition too. Don't miss the little bambino on her back in a papoose halter and her finely braided hair with ribbons. Bright blue eyes, full rounded cheeks, this couple evokes a long past time of rural peasantry life.
A truly fine Mexican doll couple sure to bring delight and wonder to any doll, ethnic latino, Mexican, eclectic collections you may have. Rarely do you find such antique dolls in this perfect vintage condition with no breaks, repairs, damages, missing parts, etc.

Vintage commonly refers to an item that is 20+ years old. Thus, it also implies there may be flaws or imperfections. For this reason, I list them as being in “good vintage condition” or “very good vintage condition”--and not “excellent condition”. I try to take pictures of any very obvious imperfections. If you have questions or want to see additional pictures, please email me
before
buying. I try to describe everything accurately, and I try not to sell items that are seriously/obviously damaged (but that can be subjective), and I could also miss something.
Ebay Feedback
is important for me as I have over 20 years experience buying and selling on eBay.  If you are satisfied with your purchase, please leave positive feedback, and I will always reciprocate. If you have a transaction concern, please contact me. If after 7 days of DELIVERY I have not heard back from you, I will assume you are happy with your purchase and that the item arrived safely in transit.
Customer satisfaction
is extremely important to me. If you receive an item and are not satisfied in any way, please contact me BEFORE leaving feedback. I am sure we CAN work together to come to a happy resolution. I try to describe each item as best I can however, I am not an expert on any of the items I sell. All are sold as is and generally I do not accept returns. Please ask if you have any questions well before auction end or inform me of any information you may have about one of my listings.

I do not charge additional for packing materials, and I recycle as much as possible. I do not make any profit on shipping costs, and the costs are calculated through the Ebay system.
