PLACE REPRESENTED: Krakow , Poland

ITEM: Figurine

NOTES: A dancing couple (at least I think they are dancing) in the traditional clothing (at least I think it is traditional) of Krakow, Poland. This is beautifully detailed and I have no doubt the clothing is regionally correct. Why? Because: Fundacja “CEPELIA” has authorized this. Cepelia was a central union of handicrafts cooperatives, which ran trade outlets dealing with the sale of goods produced in associated cooperatives , made or inspired by the work of Polish folk artists between 1949-1990. Folk handicrafts and products inspired by native folklore are common gifts in Poland. Folk dolls are certified by the National Artistic and Ethnographic Commission of the “CEPELIA” Foundation – Polish Art and Handicraft in Warsaw.
