This is a bowing Korean doll wearing a formal orange hanbok with a headpiece and hair accessories. Her face is pale and made up with blush, eyeliner and lipstick. Two distinguishing features of this doll are the red dot on her forehead and the beauty mark on her right cheek. It is implied by her headpiece (jokduri), hair stick (dinyeo), and hair ribbons (daenggi), that the doll is a bride in a traditional Korean wedding dress.
