Pembrokeshire has many
sheltered harbours along the rugged south-west stretch of the Welsh coastline
giving rise to many little fishing communities, and many villagers were
employed in the fishing industry. Welsh 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. As with all our Welsh Lady Dolls Mair stands
14” high (including hat). Mair has porcelain head, hands and half-legs.
Mair's features are china painted and she has life-like eyes and a soft
brown mohair wig.
