Vintage, Ada Lum Dolls were handmade in Hong Kong and depict the traditional outfits of Chinese culture. This pair of 14" dolls depicts the traditional outfits of a country farming couple. Both wear blue cotton pajama outfits. The woman doll's clothing is slightly brighter and has a diagonal opening across the chest. She wears a patterned head-scarf to protect her hair (styled in a bun) from dust. She wears black cloth slippers (with socks). Her husband is dressed in a slightly faded pajama outfit with frog-and-loop closures down the center front. He wears woven rope sandals (inexplicably, also with socks) and a wide bamboo hat.

display stands are not included.
