This folk-art doll assumes a graceful pose, delicately holding a large bell in her left arm. Her face is crafted from gofun, a refined white pigment derived from pulverized oyster shells, imparting a subtle luminosity that enhances her artistic elegance. Inset glass eyes contribute to her lifelike presence. The figure is mounted on a wooden base.
