Nazaré doll with layered petticoats and jewelry

Nazaré women according to local lore, wear skirts with seven petticoats. In the old days, women would wait on the beach for fishermen to sail home and to keep warm in the face of a cold sea wind while staying modestly covered, they would wear several petticoats so they could fold layers over their heads, backs, and legs. The ensemble is completed with house slippers, an apron (hand-embroidered by the wearer), a woolen cape, head scarf, and flamboyant jewelry, including chunky gold earrings (often passed down from generation to generation).

This is a small Nazaré doll with layered petticoats and jewelry including earrings and a necklace. No shoes or stand included.

Unknown age. Her bright blue eyes open and close. If you adjust her body properly you can make her stand up as seen in photos. She is about 6 inches tall.
