Two Mexican dolls wearing China Poblana costume. The China Poblana costume is considered the traditional style of dress of women in Mexico. A legend about an Asian woman explains the name of the costume. The story is to long to tell here but Wikipedia has an interesting article on the subject. The doll on the left is holding a metal stove called brasero, a kind of barbecue grill. The doll in red is marked 'Hecho en Mexico' with an eagle head under the stand. The other doll is not marked. Only their arms are movable. Sold together as a pair.
