Roman-Inspired Rag Doll

I developed the pattern and assembly method for this doll in 2019 based very loosely on a couple of extant Romano-Egyptian dolls, as a way to use up scrap fabric and help replenish the East Kingdom toybox. I need to refine it a bit, and then I will get a copy up for folks to download!

These are the extant artifacts, all found in Egypt and dated to the first half of the first millennium CE:
