Description :

A dramatic and elegant presence, Mara is a limited edition Victorian fashion doll created by award-winning artist Rustie for the Welden Museum of Fine Collectibles. Standing an impressive 41 inches tall, she wears an antique-style golden gown adorned with black beads, lace, and a feathered hat — all intact and richly detailed.

  • Porcelain head, hands, and feet with painted lashes and mysterious glass eyes
  • Jeweled lace & feather hat
  • Blonde curly hair, styled beneath her ornate hat
  • False lashes may be missing, but painted lashes remain
  • Comes with original Certificate of Authenticity and doll stand
  • Boxed, though the box shows some damage
  • Hand-numbered #522 of 1200 worldwide

Mara is a striking display piece for collectors who appreciate limited editions, Victorian elegance, and the artistry of high fashion dolls.
