Bosnian and Herzegovinian dolls

Pictured here are 2 male dolls wearing folk costumes from Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are 9-10 inches tall and are the only dolls I own in that height range. The Narodna Radinost collective sold items made from all across the former Yugoslavia and these dolls were perhaps made in a different centre than the standard range.

I have never seen another doll like the male doll wearing the turban and leather belt. He is very well proportioned and all his clothes and shoes are great quality, with some fine embroidery on the shirt front and around the socks. Sadly there is a little staining on the chin and the shirt but I do not think this detracts from his appeal to any great extent.
