Greek Doll. (It says Rhodos on the front of her apron.)
“Rhodus (Ancient Greek: Ῥόδος) also known as Rhode was the goddess of the island of Rhodes and wife of Helios, she was the daughter of Aphrodite and Poseidon. ” [Wikipedia – this is the full entry]
The image on her apron suggests she might only be from Rhodos, rather than be her, but I prefer to imagine her as Rhodos, even though I know very little about Greek mythology.
She is a classic doll sold for the tourist market. Like her Turkish pal, she also sports a rather fetching fez. Hers is in much better shape, the gold band fully intact.
Thanks to A tale of few cities, I learned that the animated gif is 25 years old this year. To celebrate here is Rhodos dancing:
[ She will stop after 7 spins. ]
Status: Snap a few close up pics of her smeared lips (reason #4 for macro lens), and then incorporate into sea monster. After all, she was a sea nymph once. Also, brush up on Greek mythology.
p.s. For daily readers, I did add another pic to yesterday’s makeup bag.

You should definitely get the lens. Doesn’t this count as two objects in one post?
I should put a poll for voting on whether to buy the lens:) How do you mean two objects – as in the gift counts as its own?
That was a slip. as in the gif counts as one?
Yes, it’s ages since I last saw one (yours is lovely and sad), and it seriously makes me feel wistful.
Interesting to think of an ancient or Olympian Greek god or goddess dressed in garb of the 19th century (?). Interesting to wonder why they would need clothes at all, especially as they inhabited the sea. I always think of them, if garbed, in a classical drape; but I think it “rich” that, given a certain sense of play, that they could adopt robes of any era.
Lovely dance. Wonder if she swims?
Now you’re giving me an idea, to have her swim. Unlike the other dolls, she has no fancy undergarments, just plastic legs. She could be the sea monster’s figurehead.
