[BCMA] Cultural Miniature Identification

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Dear BCMA, yassas! Greek hello
I sent the photo of the doll to a Greek friend of mine who is a physics
teacher, but is exceptionally knowledgeable on Greek culture .

She says it is in Macedonian dress and those types of doll were common in
the sixties .
