They are made of tow (hemp) with wax heads, hands and feet. They were probably made in France, as they are labelled in French, but some of the orders represented were only active in Germany and the Netherlands.\r\n\r\nThis figure represents a Trinitarian nun. The Order of the Holy Trinity was established near Paris in 1198. It was dedicated to raising funds for the ransom of Christian prisoners held captive by non-Christians, but is also a nurturing order dedicated to education, hospitality and tending to the poor and sick. Both Trinitarian friars and nuns wear a white tunic, scapular, and cloak, with the distinctive red-and-blue Trinitarian cross embroidered prominently on the chest of the scapular. The nuns also wear a short black veil and white wimple.","physicalDescription":"Figure made of wax and tow, dressed in linen and woollen fabrics.\r\nWhite tunic, white scapular with red and blue cross, white wimple, black veil","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"wax","id":"AAT14585"},{"text":"tow","id":"x42596"},{"text":"linen (material)","id":"AAT14069"},{"text":"wool (textile)","id":"AAT243430"}],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Figure made of tow and wax, dressed in linen and woollen materials.","categories":[{"text":"Religion","id":"THES48900"},{"text":"Christianity","id":"THES48978"},{"text":"Ecclesiastical textiles","id":"THES48962"},{"text":"Dolls and toys","id":"THES48967"},{"text":"Clothing","id":"THES48975"},{"text":"Europeana Fashion Project","id":"THES265804"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2011FA9819","2011FA9816","2011FA9822"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"002","id":"THES327363"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Figure","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"France","id":"x28849"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"},{"place":{"text":"Germany","id":"x28873"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"},{"place":{"text":"Netherlands","id":"x29020"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"first half 19th century","earliest":"1800-01-01","latest":"1850-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"MA/1/S851","id":"ARC181608"},"association":"Archive record"}],"creditLine":"Given by Mr. G.
