7 1/2″ Porcelain Woman in a Ossetian Costume. The people of Ossetian are an Iranian ethnic group. The main language is Ossetic and the people are mostly Eastern Orthodox with a large Muslim minority. Today Ossetia is an autonomous republic of the Russian Federation.
I purchased the doll in 2013 directly from a seller in Dneprodzerzhinsk, Ukraine. The seller shared that the dolls are made in St. Petersburg and then dressed in the different costumes of the individual republics of the Russian Federation.
