Kimport’s Seng Lun: Indo-China Tribesman

Seng Lun from Indo-China

11″ Indochina Cloth Seng Lun.  The doll was shown in the 1939 Kimport Doll Catalog and was advertised  as being made by an artist at a mission on the Mekong River. The catalog also goes on to say the dolls are wearing the costume of the Loi & Mai’s tribesmen, and are offered for sale at $ 5.95. I purchased Seng Lun in 2013 from a seller in Champaign, Illinois.
