Made of either an early plastic or perhaps catalin, this great piece is unmarked. Josephine's features are executed with precision and are accented with brass hoop earrings. The piece is in excellent condition with the exception of minor rubs to the paint here and there. Certainly a rarely found piece of Baker memorabilia!

Josephine Baker (June 3, 1906 – April 12, 1975) was an American-born French entertainer, most noted for her celebrated Folies Bergère singing career. In her early career, she was a feted dancer and is often credited as a movie star, although she only starred in 3 films in her early career. She was given the nicknames "Black Venus" or "Black Pearl" and "Créole Goddess", while in France she was known in the old theatrical tradition as "La Baker". She became a citizen of France in 1937. She is also credited for her contributions to the Civil Rights Movement in North America and for being an inspiration to generations of African-American female entertainers.
