These stocking/nylon soft-sculpture dolls feature wonderfully expressive hand-shaped faces and bodies. The monk wears a brown friar-style robe with pointed hood, wire spectacles, beard, braided waist cord, and wooden rosary with cross. His stuffing has shifted over time, giving him a charmingly clubbed-footed stance. The nun wears a dark brown habit with white wimple and carries a dark-beaded rosary.
Together they look perfectly respectable for Mass, confession, the convent, monastery, parish bingo, or a Knights of Columbus potluck.
But appearances can be deceiving.
In true naughty peek-a-boo / risqué novelty tradition, both figures have humorous anatomically detailed bodies hidden beneath their robes. One photo gives a discreet glimpse of their handmade boxer-style undergarments, while the full surprise remains beneath the clothing.
A wonderfully unusual pair for collectors of vintage pantyhose dolls, stocking dolls, nylon dolls, kitsch soft sculpture, folk art, novelty dolls, risqué dolls, naughty dolls, Catholic collectibles, religious folk art, nun dolls, monk or friar dolls, oddities, curiosities, outsider-style art, and vintage gag gifts.
Sold as a pair. Please review all photos for condition, craftsmanship, and the level of mischief involved.
