Malika: Berber Girl

Malika Berber-Malika Berber Side5″ Celluloid Malika: North African Berber Girl by Jamila. The doll came with a little passport which gave the following information in English, French, Spanish, German, and Arabic: “Malika lives in the Atlas Mountains in Seghroushen. She wears a serual and a silk embroidered kaftan. A neckerchief called a sebnia covers her head and shoulders. She wears rich gold and silver jewels on her forehead and around her neck. Her hair is dyed with henna and her face tattooed. On her feet she wears babooshes.” I purchased the doll in 1975 from Kathleen Campbell in Ottumiva, Iowa.
