9″ Clay Arab Woman from the Negev. ( Negev ia an arid region in southern Israel.) The doll came with the following information:” The girl is wearing the barracan, a length of cloth wrapped around the body and drawn over the head and shoulders. Originally of coarse camlet, this barracan is a heavy silk of gold with red and black stripes.” The doll was handmade in Jerusalem by Pisanty. I purchased the doll in 1972 from the Shopping International Catalog out of Norwich, Vermont.
