The many sheltered harbours along this rugged south-west stretch of the Welsh coastline gave rise to many little fishing communities, and most villagers were employed in the fishing industry. My doll Mair is seen with a specially made scale replica net mending tool and has a net over her arm.She wears a woollen dress with the skirts looped up and a serviceable under skirt apron and sleeve guards. The heavy shawl tied behind the waist, was once red but it's present colour suggests repeated washing. A muslin head scarf keeps her hair out of the way, and her hat turns slightly up at the back and dips down and the front.Standing 14" high (including hat) Mair has porcelain head, hands and half-legs. Her features are china painted and she has life-like set in eyes and a soft brown mohair wig.With certificate Signed & numbered
