Description

This pair of "Sankaku Daruma (triangle Daruma)" dolls featurs an orange and a blue conical-shaped variation on the traditional Daruma doll. Each Daruma doll has a pink face painted on the front, with white eyes, an orange upside-down U-shaped mouth, and simplified black lines to represent the eyebrows and mustache traditionally appearing on a Daruma doll. The faces are outlined in white and the eyes are painted in with small black pupils. The larger Daruma (AB 85-43) is painted orange around the face, while the smaller (AB 85-44) is painted blue.
