## Description

From the Dolls of the World "Princess Collection", Princess of South Africa Barbie doll proudly wears a traditional Ndebele-inspired dress. Its black and white patterning is topped with a colorful ngurara (intricately decorated blanket) cape. In Ndebele culture, tight-fitting neck rings are considered the most attractive and essential accessories. She wears golden-colored leg and neck rings called izixolwana. A golden and red headpiece and hoop earrings give her regal beauty. Finally, she carries her own dancing mace to carry on her heritage. This collector edition doll makes a beautiful addition to any Barbie enthusiast's collection. Doll measures approximately 12 inches tall.

Review: I just love this doll. Everything is exactly as described, only the doll looks better in person than in the product images. First of all, it's absolutely stunning -the prettiest doll I have seen so far. The paint job and her face are flawless; the eye makeup and golden lips compliment her dark skin, giving the doll a more glamorous look and feel. However, my guess is that this doll is meant more as a collector's item for adults, rather than a doll for children to play with and dress up. The outer rings and the colorful cape/blanket -which feels to be made of a felt material -that make up the outer half of the outfit are easily removable, but the dress, which is intricately patterned and has a sort of denim feel, and the golden rings around the doll's ankles and long neck, are hard to remove, while the headbands, are sewn on. The edition I received had a small dent on the side of the box, as it has been in storage for almost 20 years, but not much of an issue, since the dent is very minor and the box is otherwise undamaged (which is important, since I'm keeping it in the box), with the doll itself being in perfect mint condition; the rubber band that held the staff in place has dried out due to age, but is an easily resolvable "issue" that needed some string. Overall, very pleased with this doll and the quality.
Review: Arrivato in anticipo e imballata benissimo. Ottimo!

Amazingly beautiful Barbie doll! Thank you very much to the seller for the gift that we received along with the doll. It is a coloring book with African motifs. My daughter and I live in Ukraine. And we were very pleased to receive a postcard that was written personally to us. It is so sweet and touching. We really like the doll. We bought it for our collection and will not take it out of the box. And we really like such a pleasant human attitude. Very well packed. We were worried that it could be damaged on the way, but it arrived perfectly. Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts!
