Description

This vintage keychain features a relief figurine depicting a woman in traditional regional costume, characteristic of retro promotional items from the mid to late 20th century. The figurine wears a long pleated green dress with a yellow apron, a cream bodice with red polka dots, and brown shoes. Her head is adorned with a typical white headdress, evoking French folklore. The finish has a hand-painted look, with visible patination and some age-related wear marks.

The keyring is connected to the figurine by a metal chain, topped with a rectangular white tag on which a red inscription is discernible, likely a brand name or a city, although only the "Mart" part is legible. The figurine is molded in relief, with detailed folds in the clothing, headdress, and face, typical of souvenir or promotional keychains from the 60s to 80s.

The color palette, dominated by green, yellow, off-white, and red, accentuates the item's retro look. The surfaces show localized signs of wear or rubbing, especially on prominent parts, confirming its authentic age. The item has a retro charm, ideal for collectors of popular objects or French regional souvenirs.

The item is presented in a natural environment, placed on a stone, which highlights its colors and relief. No elements of the back are visible in the photo.
