This might be a Russian Orthodox priest or a Greek Orthodox Priest, so far I can not be certain based on research, however my parents visited Russia when I was a kid, and being that this was in my mother's apartment, I am guessing that it's Russian, possibly from the 1970's or 1980's. It appears to be in great condition.
The clothing and shoes appear to be handmade. The face and hands are plastic, and the face seems to be painted by hand.
Note, this does not stand up on it's own. In order to take the photos, I had to lean him against something and put a dab of wax under one foot. The light weight would make that easy to do on a display shelf, too.
This came from a collection belonging to my mother. She seems to have collected dolls from all her lifetime of travels around the world. She kept these her entire life. I just want to find them all a new home where these will be enjoyed.
